  • Patent number: 8941098
    Abstract: A light detecting array structure and a light detecting module are provided. The light detecting array structure includes a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, a first carrier selective layer, a second carrier selective layer, and a light-absorbing active layer. The second electrodes are disposed on one side of the first electrodes. Between the first electrodes and the second electrodes, a first carrier selective layer, a light-absorbing active layer and a second carrier selective layer are disposed. The light detecting module includes the light detecting array structure and a control unit. The control unit is coupled to the first electrodes and second electrodes, selectively provides at least two cross voltages between each of the first electrodes and each of the second electrodes, and reads photocurrents flowing through the first electrodes and second electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20130056070
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for generating inverted organic solar cells and which required no electron selective layer, were fabricated and their power conversion efficiency was found to improve irreversibly with post-processing light soaking for a period. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization further revealed segregation in surface composition at the interface and was found to explain the current density-voltage measurements. In addition, the light soaked devices were found to exhibit an extended lifetime as compared to conventional devices. Since no electron selective layer was required, light soaking may be considered as a cost-effective method to achieve efficient inverted organic solar cells.
