Extract

Organic thin films have been studied for their properties as active optoelectronic materials for at least 50 years. Yet, until recently, they have failed to make a significant impact in the commercial world. However, display products based on organic light emission are now available commercially, indicating that a major change in the acceptance of organic optoelectronics is in the offing. I would like to discuss some of the reasons for these developments from an engineering perspective.
