Oxidized Au thin film is shown to function as a direct drop‐in replacement for the de facto standard indium tin oxide anode in high‐performance flexible organic light‐emitting diodes fabricated on plastic substrates (see image). The thin films offer a new materials‐technology platform for enabling the roll‐to‐roll processing of next‐generation flexible organic optoelectronics for applications such as solid‐state lighting.
