How to avoid traps in plastic electronics
27 August, 2012Plastic electronics hold the promise of cheap, mass-produced devices. But plastic semiconductors have an important flaw: the electronic current is influenced by ‘charge traps’ in the material. These traps, which have a negative impact on plastic light-emitting diodes and solar cells, are poorly understood.
