Readily patterned silver nanowire electrodes for polymer light-emitting diodes on elastomeric substrate

The fabrication of silver nanowire electrodes (AgNWs) on elastomeric substrates using various patterning processes and embedding process allowed us to solve the problems of using conventional silver nanowire electrodes such as rough surface and complicated pattering process. When polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) were fabricated using the AgNWs electrode fabricated above, they showed stable light emission and much lower driving voltage than alternating current electroluminescence. As a result, a stretchable transparent electrode was fabricated to the extent that it can be used for low voltage driven patterned lightings.
