Abstract
Simplification in large-area manufacturing of complex organic electronics is a critical step towards ubiquitous, flexible, portable applications; why not make the molecules do the work?
Early demonstrations of organic electronics applications bode well for potential low-cost, flexible, rollable or foldable products, which are not readily accessible with conventional silicon-based electronics. Indeed, one imagines displays that are thin, light, robust and can be rolled away or folded and put in a pocket when not in use; and omnipresent flexible smart tags, sensors and large-area signage may be visions of a not-too-distant future.
