An LCD Built with Graphene
According to a team of researchers from the UK and Russia, thin sheets of carbon could improve LCDs. The group recently demonstrated that graphene — a two-dimensional layer of carbon — can be used to make the conducting transparent thin films required as electrodes in LCDs and other photonic devices.

Unlike the metal oxides now used for such electrodes, graphene is chemically stable. Furthermore, metal oxides suffer from nonuniform absorption across the visible spectrum, and the new material does not. ...
