Abstract
Luminescent organic thin films are widely used in optoelectronic devices for sensing, imaging and data processing. Herein, the transition to a flexible form is accompanied by a number of challenges associated with a limited endurance and bending-dependent properties. Here we report a study on the growth of thin films based on thiophene-based luminescent molecular crystals (MC) on a flexible polypropylene (PP) substrate of a various thicknesses (400 μm to 50 μm). The resulting flexible thin films demonstrate the stability of their luminescent properties under mechanical bending (up to 100 times) at ambient conditions, which pave the way for large scale production of planar optoelectronic components.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
