CPOS Seminar: Challenges in the Industrialization of Organic Electronics

Speaker: Dr. Yi-Ming Chang, CTO, Raynergy Tek Incorporation, Taiwan

Abstract: Organic photovoltaic (OPV) and organic photodetector (OPD) processed from solution coating with single junction architecture now have achieved remarkable performance, the value is unthinkable only few years ago. These results demonstrate the significant potential of organic electronic technologies and products in the green energy and image sensing landscape.  However, to accelerate the commericallization of organic electronic technology, the scalability of materials and devices for industrial production must be improved to minimize the lab-to-fab loss, pushing organic electronic technology from academia to industry successfully. In this presentation, we will give an overview about the current status of OPV and OPD technology in industry, and point out their challeanges of industrialization from a point of view of a material supplier accordingly. 

Bio: Dr. Yi-Ming Chang currently is the Chief Technology Officer of RaynergyTek Incorporation. He received his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Science and Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2008. Prior to joining RaynergyTek, Dr. Chang worked at Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) for 7 years and the works were mainly focused on the flexible electronic technologies, including the printable optoelectronic devices and their roll-to-roll manufacturing. Dr. Chang also worked at University of California, Los Angeles in 2011 as a Visiting Scholar in Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the research topic related to the interface engineering of organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology. He have more than 10 years experience in the industrialization of organic electronics, and familiar with both material and device engineering, which includes the organic semiconductors, OPVs, OLEDs, and organic photodetectors (OPDs).
