This book focuses on the exciting topic on self-organized organic
semiconductors – from materials to device applications. It
offers up-to-date and accessible coverage of self-organized
semiconductors for organic chemistry, polymer science, liquid
crystals, materials science, material engineering, electrical
engineering, chemical engineering, optics, optic-electronics,
nanotechnology and semiconductors. Chapters cover chemistry,
physics, processing, and characterization. The applications include
photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and transistors.
