I. Course Overview
Organic optoelectronic materials and devices have formed a new discipline: organic optoelectronics. With continuous research and industrial breakthroughs, they have been applied in semiconductor, biological, and energy industries.
This course systematically covers classification, history, state-of-the-art, and commercialization, focusing on:
· Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED)
· Organic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFT)
· Organic Photovoltaic Cells (OPV)
· Organic Electrochromic Devices (OEC)
It discusses commercial products and industrial prospects, inspires interest in basic science, and highlights applications and challenges in defense, electronics, and chemical industries.
