ORGANIC PHOTODETECTOR FOR THE DETECTION OF INFRARED RADIATION, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to an organic photodetector for infrared radiation, particularly one detecting radiation within the spectral region of over 1100 nm, the so-called imager region. Contrary to the currently known photodetectors, such as the Bolometer, II-VI semiconductor, and quantum well detectors, the novel photodetectors, containing semiconducting nano-particles for shifting the range of detection, require no technical and cost-intensive effort in the production thereof, and may be constructed of flexible substrates by means of simple printing methods.
