Abstract :
A study of thin metal films as transparent conductive contacts for organic devices is reported. Metal films such as gold (Au) and silver (Ag) have very low surface resistivities and can have excellent transparency, if they are thin. By balancing the surface resistivity and transparency, thin metal films may be used as transparent electrical contacts for organic devices
