Organic Electronics: From Materials to Devices

Stretchable Electronics: Materials Strategies and Devices

New electronic materials have the potential to enable wearable computers, personal health monitors, wall-scale displays and other systems that are not easily achieved with established wafer based technologies. A traditional focus of this field is on the development of materials for circuits that can be formed on bendable substrates, such as sheets of plastic or steel foil. More recent efforts s...

Pyrene-based materials for organic electronics.

Organic electronics - From lab to markets

Abstract— Organic semiconductors with conjugated electron system are currently intensively investigated for optoelectronic applications. This interest is spurred by novel devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), organic solar cells, and flexible electronics. In this talk, I will discuss some of the recent progress in realizing devices, in particular highly efficient white OLED for ...

Organic Thin Film Photovoltaic Devices from Discotic Materials

Since the {irst demonstration of organic photo voltaic devices much progress has been made. Organic solar cells reach now power conversion efficiencies of up to 3% over the solar spectrum. The morphology of the active film is very important for efficient devices. Films spin-coated from blend solutions phase separate. The scale of the phase separation depends on the solvent, solubility of the ma...

Phosphorescent materials for application to organic light emitting devices*

Organic phosphors have demanded the attention of the organic electroluminescence community because they enable ef®ciencies quadruple that of ̄uorescent materials. In this work, we review the categories of organic phosphors: lanthanide complexes, organic phosphors and metal-organic complexes. The characteristics necessary for ef®cient phosphorescence are considered and conclusions are drawn as t...
