As a result, devices based
on organic semiconductors are projected to be cheaper since they do not require high temperatures, clean rooms and expensive processing steps like silicon does.»
«To us it was important to develop an easily scalable technology platform for manufacturing large - area printed and flexible electronics based
on organic semiconductors and nanomaterials,» Dr. Abdellah says.

organic semiconductors that emit very bright light while energized.
These somewhat contradictory theories, none of which is universally valid for all cases, have now been unified by Oehzelt and developed into a single coherent model based
on the electrostatic potential caused by the charge carriers in the metal and the
organic semiconductor.
On the example of pentacene, a common
organic semiconductor, Oehzelt has quantitatively checked the model's predictions for interface losses.
