Flexible organic devices: Towards ubiquitous electronics

Thin film devices deposited on plastic substrates allow a novel flexible, low-cost ubiquitous form of electronics. Organic semiconductors are ideally suited for such devices due to their suitability for large area, mechanical properties, and deposition at room temperature. So far, organic semiconductors have successfully entered the market for smartphone displays, and organic solar cells are close to a broader market introduction. In my talk, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities for this new technology.
