Flexible Organic Electro-optical Integrated Devices

Abstract

Fabrication and characteristics of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photodetectors (OPDs) have been discussed for optical signal transmission. Emission properties of polymeric light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) utilizing poly(9, 9-alkylfluorene) (PFO) derivatives have been investigated. 100MHz signal has been created by direct operation of the PLEDs and PFO based OPDs has been demonstrated for receiving optical signal up to 80MHz. Optical signals with moving pictures have been successfully transmitted by the PLEDs with polymeric optical fiber.
