Organic transistors actively adapt for brighter vision

In an approach that mimics the capabilities of the human visual system, an organic transistor based on two complementary bulk heterojunctions can exhibit visual adaptation behaviour that is light intensity dependent. The photograph on the cover shows an array of the devices on a flexible substrate and attached to a transparent marble.
