Mathematical models for the simulation of organic optoelectronic devices
 
 
Description:  Organic semiconductors, and in particular the polymeric, are of enormous interest for high-volume and low-cost manufacturing electronics industry, generally referred to as “printed electronics”. Considering that the first organic light-emitting device (OLED) based on low molecular weight materials was reported in 1987 and a similar device, based on polymers, in 1990, organic semiconductors, both polymeric and oligomeric, constitute a comparatively young field of research. Aiming fundamentally wide-screen viewing applications, the developments in this new field led to intense research of other optoelectronic devices such as: photovoltaic cells (OPV), field effect transistors (OFET) and organic solid-state lasers. The understanding of the key-processes involved in the operation of these devices, namely, injection, transport and recombination mechanisms, is a very important issue in the development of new materials and device architectures that will allow device optimization. Device modelling and simulation, including all relevant physical processes, is considered to be an invaluable tool to achieve high-performance organic optoelectronic devices.
