  • Patent number: 7968875
    Abstract: An organic photosensitive optoelectronic device includes an anode, an organic photosensitive layer formed on the anode and having a donor portion and an acceptor portion, a hole blocking layer formed on the organic photosensitive layer so as for the organic photosensitive layer to be sandwiched between the anode and the hole blocking layer, and a cathode formed on the hole blocking layer so as for the hole blocking layer to be sandwiched between the cathode and the organic photosensitive layer. The highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) of the hole blocking layer is at least 0.3 eV higher than that of the donor portion. Therefore, the optoelectronic device efficiently suppresses dark current so as to enhance sensitivity when applied to a detector.

  • Publication number: 20100133434
    Abstract: An organic semiconductor infrared distance sensing apparatus and an organic infrared emitting apparatus thereof are disclosed. The organic semiconductor infrared distance sensing apparatus comprises an organic infrared emitting apparatus and an organic infrared receiving apparatus. The organic infrared emitting apparatus has a positive electrode layer and a negative electrode layer to form an electric field, and organic light emitting molecules are sandwiched between the two layers and correspond to the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. Under a positive bias, a plurality of electrons and holes are respectively injected from electrodes and recombine with each other to emit photons. An infrared organic conversion layer absorbs and transfers the energy to infrared emitting molecules to emit infrared light.
