WUHAN, China (May 18, 2016) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 112 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of May 18.
Organic electronics based on the thin film devices, including organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic electrochromic devices (OECs) are envisioned both great interest in academia and industry.The properties of organic semiconductor materials are directly governed by the molecule structures. In this talk I will present the recent work conducted in our labs for molecule design strategies. Examples include strategies for searching high mobility organic semiconductors with unique properties for OTFT applications, series of organic semiconductors with hetero atom substituted side chains in the main backbone of phenyl-anthracene have been synthesized, characterized and are used as active layers in the thin film organic field effect transistors (OFETs). All the semiconductors not only show high charge mobility, but also demonstrate high fluorescent quantum efficiency both in solution and solid films. Interesting results will be discussed.
Prof. Hong Meng received his Ph.D from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2002. He has been working in the field of organic electronics for more than 20 years. His career experiences including working in the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (IMRE) at Singapore, Lucent Technologies Bell Labs, DuPont Experimental Station. In 2012, Dr. Meng joined the laser printing industry company and conducted the new research area in chemical toner synthesis, special rubber composites and conducting ink formulations. He is a joint Professor in the Institute of Advanced Materials Nanjin Tech University. In 2014, he then moved to School of Advanced Materials Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School. Prof. Meng has contributed over 40 peer-reviewed papers (citation: 2500) in chemistry and materials science fields, filed over 46 US patents, 21 Chinese patents, published several book chapters and co-edited one book titled “Organic Light Emitting Materials and Devices”. He was selected as one of The Recruitment Program of Global Experts (2013).
