Organic semiconductor molecular architecture: MerckRecent Research Landscape

Charge carrier imbalances in multilayer stacks cause premature thermal degradation and low luminous efficiency. Controlling the molecular architecture of the organic transport layers stabilizes the charge injection process to extend device lifespan.

What technical problems is Merck addressing in Organic semiconductor molecular architecture?

Poor charge carrier stability

(19)evidences

Chemical instability and bond cleavage during device operation lead to short operational lifespans. Enhancing isotopic stability prevents premature material breakdown.

Short device operational lifespan

(9)evidences

Variations in material processing and integration lead to unreliable device performance. Standardizing manufacturing methods ensures reproducible electronic properties across large-scale production.

Inadequate luminous efficiency

(8)evidences

Chemical and thermal degradation of organic layers during device operation. Improving stability extends the functional duration of displays and lighting.
