Introduction to Organic Electronic Devices

This book comprehensively describes organic electronic devices developed in the past decades. It not only covers the mainstream devices including organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) but also includes devices of recent interest such as organic immune transistors, organic photocatalysis devices, and themoelectrical devices. The book starts from the introduction of basic theory of organic semiconductor materials and devices, which acquaints the readers with the concepts of each type of device described in the following chapters. It also discusses the working principles, device layout, and fabrication process of these devices. The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students who are interested in organic electronics, researchers/engineers working in the field of organic electronic devices/systems.

Dr. Guangye Zhang graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) with a bachelor’s degree in materials physics in 2009 and received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry in 2015 from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), for his study in the field of organic photovoltaics under the direction of Professor Benjamin Schwartz. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow and then a research assistant professor in Professor He (Henry) Yan’s group at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). In 2018, he co-founded eFlexPV Limited with Professor Yan, aiming to commercialize organic photovoltaics. In 2020, he joined Shenzhen Technology University (SZTU) as an assistant professor in College of New Materials and New Energies. He has been working on organic photovoltaics since 2008 with a focus on device engineering, device and materials physics and thin-film morphology. Besides photovoltaics, hi^3000 times and an h-index of 36.
