Abstract

We have successfully used a transfer printing technique to directly transfer vacuum-filtered nanotube film to glass and plastic substrates. Our typical SWNT-film has a transparency of ∼80% and a sheet resistance around 400 Ohm/square. Further improvement to the nanotube film includes SOCl2 doping and PEDOT passivation, which significantly improve the sheet conductance and surface quality of the nanotube films. We have applied the optimized SWNT films as hole injection electrodes to demonstrate OLEDs on both rigid glass and flexible substrates.
