Organic Semiconductors – From OLED displays to Quantum Applications
Materials Science seminar by Richard Friend, Department of Physics, University of Cambridge
Monday 19:30–21:00 London (GMT+1)
Starts in 10 days
Storey's Way, Cambridge, UK · Hybrid
Abstract
Organic semiconductor molecules underpin the light-emitting diodes used in high-performance smartphone and television displays. Richard Friend traces the path from early discoveries to practical OLED technology and examines a wider range of applications, including solar cells, printable electronics and biological interfaces. He then discusses emerging phenomena in these materials and current work on their use as quantum sensors that can be accessed optically.
