A photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor is a cost-effective and efficacious way of measuring health conditions such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiration rate. In this work, we present a hybrid PPG sensor system working in a reflective mode with an optoelectronic module, i.e.

In this work, we fabricated a bulk heterojunction OPD with a device structure of glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al using the spin-coating process and characterized the dark and photocurrent densities at different applied bias conditions for red, green, and blue incident LEDs. The OPD photocurrent density exhibited a magnitude up to 2.

The emission zone in an LED is where charges recombine and light is emitted from. It is believed that the emission zone is strongly linked to device efficiency and lifetime.

Herein, by utilizing an efficient blue-violet fluorophor (CzS1) that has a high triplet energy of 2.62 eV, the significance of effective confinement of the green triplets in fluorescence/phosphorescence hybrid white devices (F/P-WOLEDs) that have highly simplified emission layers (EMLs) containing only RGB emitters was demonstrated.

BDPFPA is a highly fluorescent and versatile material that can be used as a nondoped green emitter and as a hole transporter. BDPFPA was used in a standard trilayer device as the emitting layer, which showed a low turn-on voltage (<3 V) and a high efficiency of 11.
