有機材料は,軽量かつ軟らかく曲げやすいといった 特徴に加え,塗布法や印刷などの低温・簡易プロセス による低価格化への期待が寄せられている.特に,有 機材料を用いた有機電子デバイスの性能向上に伴い, 国内外の研究機関から太陽電池やフレキシブルディス プレイ,電子ペーパー,情報タグ,各種センサなどの研 究が盛んに行われている [1]~[3].例えば,有機エレク トロニクス研究分野では,有機 EL(Electroluminescence)と有機 TFT(Thin-Film Transistor)を用い たフレキシブルディスプレイの実現化をターゲットと して産学連携のもとで研究が推進されている.一方, 実用的有機デバイスの実現のためには,材料,デバイ ス構造,プロセスなどに関して検討を重ねた上で研究 を推進する必要がある.すなわち,有機材料を実用レ ベルのデバイスに応用するには,材料物性の改...

Organic electron-transporting materials are essential for the fabrication of organic p-n junctions, photovoltaic cells, n-channel field-effect transistors, and complementary logic circuits. Rylene diimides are a robust, versatile class of polycyclic aromatic electron-transport materials with excellent thermal and oxidative stability, high electron affinities, and, in many cases, high electron m...

Flexible and transparent electronics have been studied intensively during the last few decades. The technique establishes the possibility of fabricating innovative products, from flexible displays to radio-frequency identification tags. Typically, large-area polymeric substrates such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are used, which produces new requirements for the inte...

The historical background and recent progress in the development of organic electronics and photonic crystals, particularly tunable photonic crystals realized by combining photonic crystal structure with functional organic molecules, are discussed. The novel characteristics of organic electronic devices with mainly conducting polymers, which are related to the optical effects, and the tunable p...
