Recent developments on carbon based organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic diodes (OPVs) and photoactive organic field effect transistors (photOFETs) are discussed. Furthermore, organic/inorganic nanoparticle based “hybrid” devices will be discussed. This talk gives an overview of materials’ aspect, charge-transport, and device physics of organic diodes and field-effect transistors.

Due to the compatibility of carbon/hydrogen based organic semiconductors with organic biomolecules and living cells there can be a great opportunity to integrate such organic semiconductor devices (biOFETs) with the living organisms. In general, bio/lifesciences and information technology can be bridged in an advanced cybernetic approach using organic semiconductor devices embedded in bio-life sciences. This field of bio-organic electronic devices is proposed to be an important mission of organic semiconductor devices.
