Abstract

using the ratio of electrical conductivity to optical conductivity, which is among the highest reported for sub-micrometer transparent electrodes. This method does not require any lamination, or immersion in solvents or electrolytes, enabling direct integration onto sensitive organic layers. With improved transparency, the metal mesh electrodes were able to be applied as the top cathodes of OLEDs exhibiting comparable electroluminescence characteristics to those with conventional electrodes.
