Organic diodes manufactured on a plastic substrate capable of rectifying a high-frequency radio-frequency identification signal (13.56 MHz), with sufficient power to operate an interactive smart tag, are reported. A high-performance conjugated semiconductor (an indacenodithiophene-benzothiadiazole copolymer) is combined with a carefully optimized architecture to satisfy the electrical requirements for an organic-semiconductor-based logic chip.

We have developed a scalable manufacturing process for active matrix displays compatible with low temperature plastic substrates and have applied this technology to the fabrication of flexible SVGA display backplanes. We combined these backplanes with E Ink® Imaging Film to produce 100 PPI SVGA (800×600 pixel) displays exhibiting grey scale and with a high aperture ratio. Power consumption is zero in between image changes. Flexible high information content e‐paper displays will change the way in which information is conveyed by enabling lightweight, robust e‐reader devices.

We present organic thin film transistors (OTFT) with leakage currents below 10 -17 A/µm and compare them to existing TFT technologies. The impact of low leakage on the dynamic range of an optical sensor was modelled to demonstrate its benefit to the performance of 500ppi device.

We present organic thin film transistors with leakage currents below 10 -17 A/μm. We discuss how they can be exploited to fabricate (i) flexible reflective liquid crystal displays (RLCDs) with reduced power consumption for wearable applications and (ii) flexible active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) displays with high pixel density.
