organic-electronic

Nowadays, with all the places digital displays can be found, evidence indicates that it may not be that hip to be square. Displays that push the boundaries of the conventional rectangular, flat-panel design permit extremely organic incorporation of display features into shapes and sizes that are a far better fit with their use and context. Non-rectangular displays are also known as freeform displays (sometimes “free form” or “free-form”), which denotes their bespoke shapes and alludes to the design freedom that they bestow to device manufacturers.

Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) and the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences have developed a novel approach for preparing thin semiconductor fullerene films. The method enables fabrication of organic electronics without using toxic organic solvents and costly vacuum technologies, thus reducing the environmental risks and making organic electronics more accessible.
