Development of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) is critical for OLED device efficiency.  This project proposes an innovative transparent conducting layer consisting of a self-assembled network of conducting particles whose nanometer dimensions and large open area ratios make them much more transparent for a given electrical conductivity than conventional TCOs.
