which tells about research on carbon nanotubes implemented to LEDs:
Carbon nanotubes, tiny cylinders whose extraordinary electrical and
mechanical properties have spurred much excitement in recent years,
may play an unexpected role in replacing the century-old incandescent
light bulb.
A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Florida has
shown that thin sheets or "films" made of carbon nanotubes are
remarkably effective transmitters of electricity into light emitting
diodes, or LEDs. This appears to overcome one of several obstacles to
inexpensive mass production of white LEDs, which are widely viewed as
replacement candidates for energy-hogging and shorter-lived
incandescent and fluorescent bulbs in offices and homes today...
What I couldn't understand is why this metal to carbon nanotubes film
replacement will make white LEDs production cheaper. They say, the
resistance drops 3 times, then power consumption should be 9 times
less.
That great, but still I guess nanotubes are more expensive to deposit
there (and material too) than conventional metal.
