OLED manufacturers are striving hard to come up with panels that are cheaper and more appealing to the consumers.
In a bid to pull down the price of OLED panels, the researchers of Stanford University have discovered a new method. By introducing some graphane nanometers as transparent conductors, the OLED panels will become more affordable.
This new research has made way for the mass production of OLEDs at a lower rate. Flexible plastic substrate will be used to make the OLED panels. It will enable the user to roll up the OLED panel and place it anywhere.
The researchers have zeroed in on graphane as it has the potential to be highly conductive, affordable, transparent and give brilliant performance. Earlier, it had been proved that graphane could also be used for making organic lighting devices.
Now, graphane will replace indium tin oxide (ITO) used in making OLEDs. ITO is not only expensive, but also rare and difficult to recycle.

Is the graphane material with OLEDs available commercially. Is it possible to have the material say 30 cm by 30 cm to produce light using various voltages in different countries even down to 12v and 24v???? And what will the cost be for the above measurement?
