Spectrally Selective Full-Color Single-Component Organic Photodetectors Based on Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Molecules.

Photodetectors based on organic materials are attractive due to their tunable spectral response and biocompatibility, meaning that they are a promising platform for an artificial human eye. To mimic the photoelectric response of the human eye, narrowband spectrally-selective organic photodetectors are in great demand, and single-component organic photodetectors based on donor-acceptor conjugated molecules are a noteworthy candidate. In this work, we present single-component selective full-color organic photodetectors based on donor-acceptor conjugated molecules synthetized to mimic the spectral response of the cones and rods of a human eye.
