Dyson, M.J. (author), Verhage, M. (author), Ma, X. (author), Simone, G. (author), Tordera, D. (author), Janssen, R.A.J. (author), Gelinck, G.H. (author)Establishing the color of incident light is essential for many applications, such as machine vision, but generally requires either a dispersive component or multiple spectrally selective photodetectors. In contrast, here an incident spectrum is parametrized using a single broadband organic photodiode (OPD). This is achieved by exploiting the...article 2020

(author)Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are the fundamental building blocks of today's display industry. To achieve higher drive currents and device density, it is essential to scale down the channel lengths of TFTs. To be able to fabricate short-channel TFTs in large volumes is also equally important in order to realize lower fabrication costs and higher...article 2019
