EL Panel Design - Backplane/Busbar Resistances

Think Big!

Light up larger areas with the Bandgap CTC Conductivity Enhancer. Available on our webshop, this affordable
additive for clear conductive polymer CTCs (Conductive Top Coats) can increase conductivity by at least 5-10x resulting in brighter,
less patchy EL panels which can be made larger without worrying about dimming off.
