Recyclable Lighting Components Address The Drawbacks Of OLED
A team of Swedish and American researchers have developed an organic, light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), built from the recyclable component graphene. The natural properties of graphene point to potential for LEC’s to address the problems presented by LED technology, in that LED and OLED are both expensive to produce and difficult to recycle.
