The field of organic electronics has been strongly developed in the past several years. The three most widely studied and commercially interesting types of organic electronic devices are light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thin-film transistors (TFTs), and photovoltaics. The understanding of these devices, along with the development of new materials, has led to a wide variety of applications in the field. There have been demonstrations of displays and backplanes for displays, electronic circuits for tagging, and efficient photovoltaic devices on rigid and flexible substrates. The aim of this symposium is to address science and engineering related to the synthesis of new organic semiconducting materials, the fabrication of devices, and the underlying mechanisms of device operation. Research related to this field, such as characterization of the optical and electrical properties of materials and devices, polymeric dielectrics, and encapsulants and substrates, will also be included.
