Flexible powder electroluminescent device on silver nanowire electrode

We have demonstrated the flexible AC powder electroluminescent device based on Ag nanowire electrode. The Ag nanowire electrode showed the nanowire morphology of 20 nm in diameter and 15 μm in length, the transmittance of 87%, and the sheet resistance of 50 Ω/sq, and the higher flexibility than the conventional ITO substrate. The electroluminescence spectra of the Ag nanowire-based device in all frequency and voltage ranges were almost similar with the ITO-based device. In comparison with the ITO-based device, the luminous efficiency of the Ag nanowire-based device was almost same as 1.53 lm/W.
