  1. Topic 3: Information Systems TechnologyOrganic Electronics Dan Ru ISYM-540-P 07/16/2009

  2. Organic Electronics • Also named: plastic/polymer electronics • “Organic” = carbon-based • Traditional conductor: copper or silicon • Benefits: lighter, more flexible, and less expensive • Application markets: OLED Displays, OLED Lighting, RFID Tags, OTFT Backplanes, TFPV/Organic Photovoltaic, and Sensors

  3. History • 1977, discovery and development of highly-conductive polymers “polyacetylene” • 2000, Nobel Prize in Chemistry • Alan J. Heeger • Alan G. MacDiarmid • Hideki Shirakawa • 1990s, plastic electronics on thin and flexible plastic substrates was developed • Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory

  4. Features Categories Applications Printed Electronics Smart windows Electronic paper Solar cell • Semiconductors • Dielectrics • Conductors • Light emitters

  5. Printed Electronics • A set of printing methods used to create electrically functional devices • “Functional inks” carbon-based compounds • Material: • plastic, ceramic, silicon • Organic/Inorganic/Hybrid • Low-cost, low-performance electronics: • flexible displays • smart labels • decorative and animated posters • active clothing.

  6. Smart Glass • Application: windows or skylights • Control the amount of light and heat passing through with the press of a button • Electrically switchabletechnologies: • Electro-chromic devices • Suspended particle devices • Polymer dispersed liquid crystal devices • Benefits: • Save cost for lighting, heating, air-conditioning • Block UV rays • Provide privacy

  7. Smart Glass

  8. Electronic Paper • Mimic ordinary ink on paper • No back-light, reflects light • Holding text/images indefinitely without drawing electricity • Allowing image to be changed later • Light, flexible, durable, non-fading • Comfortable to read, can be read in direct sunlight

  9. Organic Solar Cell • Also named: plastic solar cell, organic photovoltaic cell (OPVC) • Inexpensive organic polymers instead of expensive crystalline silicon • Light absorption and charge transport • High absorption coefficient • Low efficiency, low stability and low strength • Types of POVC: • Single layer • Multi-layer • Dispersed hetero-junction

  10. Future of Organic Electronics

  11. Forecast 2027: $330 Billions market
