Context

The organic electronics sector has been developing for several years now, and while some areas are still at the experimental exploration stage, others have been industrialized, as in the case of OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) displays. Although conventional silicon-based electronics are highly efficient, they have certain shortcomings, such as the extreme conditions under which components are manufactured (clean rooms, temperatures in excess of 1,000°C), and the rigidity and fragility of the resulting devices. Organic electronics, on the other hand, call on relatively economical and environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes, as well as quick and easy shaping, notably by printing techniques, and can enable the development of flexible devices adaptable to textiles, for example. These new organic materials, both conductive and semiconductive, offer solutions to the problems encountered...
