Abstract

As graphene has several potential advantages over indium tin oxide (ITO) including weight, robustness, flexibility, chemical stability, and cost, many applications, such as touch panels, displays, solar cells, organic light-emitting diode, transistors, and other new areas, have been demonstrated. Although the application of graphene for transparent conductors (TCs) is still in its early stage and the performances of some devices presented in this book are in a preoptimized state, the unique functional characteristics can make graphene a strong candidate to replace the currently commercially dominant TC materials. These devices, with their functional, structural, and mechanical requirements, where graphene has been considered to apply are discussed in this chapter.
