Organic photodiodes for sensor applications

 


Powerful, inexpensive and even flexible when they need to be, organic photodiodes are a promising alternative to silicon-based photodetectors. They are used to improve light sensitivity in cameras and to check displays for homogeneous color composition. Fraunhofer scientists are developing just this kind of component to fit customer-specific requirements and will be presenting a color sensor demonstrator at this year’s SENSOR + TEST trade fair in Nuremberg from June 3 to 5 (Hall 12, Booth 12-537).
