PEDOT:PSS for transparent conductive films- the progress so far

PEDOT:PSS is an organic conductor that can be used as a transparent conductive film material. PEDOT has already found high-volume commercial use as a capacitor electrode material, as well as the material used in electrostatic discharge films employed in the LCD industry. Its commercialisation progress as a transparent conductive material has, however, been slow to date. In this article, IDTechEx offers a detailed and independent assessment of the latest progress in PEDOT's performance improvement, patterning techniques, cost reduction, product and prototype development, and commercialisation success.
