This Workshop will explore the cutting edge innovations in the development and fabrication of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED), Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs) and Sensor devices, by state-of-the-art methods (wet chemical, printing, vacuum). These flexible devices have the potential to revolutionize Electronics, Energy generation, Lighting and Visualization of Information by integration to complex shapes, providing intelligence to numerous devices and applications.
This Workshop will provide a deep understanding of the fundamental aspects of the fabrication of OLEDs, OTFTs and Sensors, their optimization in terms of performance, efficiency and lifetime, whereas it will explore the technical challenges of their integration in existing and future products (e.g. Wearables, Automotive, Consumer Products, Agriculture, Healthcare, etc).
The topics for this Workshop include the following:
- Novel organic/inorganic and hybrid materials for OLEDs, OTFTs and Sensors
- Transparent Electrodes (organic, printable, inorganic, oxides), non-transparent Electrodes & dielectrics
- Self-organized molecules and systems
- Molecular Electronics
- Electronic Structure and Interfaces
- Charges & Excitons
- Device Properties & Charge Transport
