ABSTRACT

A brief summary of recent developments in the field of organic optoelectronic devices is given, with a focus on conjugated polymers, fullerene C60, and carbon nanotubes. The device design, performance, and underlying principles are discussed. Examples include Schottky barrier diodes, field-effect transistors (FETs), photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and field-emitting displays to cover optoelectronic devices for both the current and light generation.
