Though an organic semiconductor’s light-emission
upon application of an electric field and production of
electricity upon irradiation are based on the same concept, the
design of the materials involved in each process and fabrication
of the devices for each process have challenges that are
particular to either photoemission or photovoltage generation.
In this presentation we will discuss the design
and synthesis of molecules and polymers for applications in
organic electronics. The principal applications are in
light-emitting devices, particularly the production of white
light and photovoltaic devices. The results and challenges in
both camps will be presented. |
