A large-area, flexible, and lightweight sheet image scanner integrated with organic field-effect transistors and organic photodiodes

A large-area, flexible, and lightweight sheet image scanner has been successfully manufactured on a plastic film, for the first time, integrating high-quality organic transistors and organic photodetectors. Since this area-type image-capturing device does not require any optics or any mechanical scanning devices, it is innovatively light to carry, shock-resistant and potentially inexpensive to manufacture.
