RollFlex: Flexible organic optoelectronics

Limited resources in a globalized world require a radical mind shift in energy production and consumption and thus new technologies. Devices made of organic materials such as solar cells and OLEDs offer entirely new characteristics such as mechanical flexibility, light weight, low costs, and semi-transparency. We explain the fabrication and function of these devices and introduce new fields of application such as, e.g., flexible solar cells, wearable technology devices and biosensors.
