Organic Semiconductor Science ΓÇô Lessons from Nature Professor Sir Richard Friend, University of Cambridge ΓÇï Pi-conjugated organic molecules and polymers now provide a set of well-performing semiconductors that support devices, particularly light-emitting diodes (LEDs) now widely commercialised in smart-phone displays and lighting, but extending also to field-effect transistors (FETs) and solar cells. These are attractive materials to manufacture, particularly for large-area applications where they can be processed by direct printing, so that the cost of materials and processing can be very low. This practical success is made possible by breakthroughs in the understanding and engineering of the underlying semiconductor science.
