SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic photodetectors (OPDs) are the "eyes" of the image sensor and can be applied to various diode systems for next-generation advanced devices. The distinct advantages of OPDs over conventional inorganic photodetectors are their extreme flexibility and low power requirement. However, noise in OPDs impedes performance. Therefore, noise reduction is important for enhancing the performance of OPDs.

Key Points: 
  • Therefore, noise reduction is important for enhancing the performance of OPDs.
  • The researchers presented their findings in a recent article made available online on November 4, 2022, in Advanced Functional Materials .
  • "Despite many efforts to reduce noise in OPDs, little work has been done to identify the mechanism of the origin of noise," explains Prof. Wang.
  • Further research on the dominant noise-causing mechanism contributes to suppress dark current for improved OPD performance in advanced applications.

GENEVA, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "It has now been 7 years since we were in Sendai, Japan to discuss how to build a more resilient world while facing more disasters. In 2015, IDA, as an organization of persons with disabilities, was excited to see strong provisions on disability-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in the Sendai Framework. But packing for Bali to discuss progress in implementing what we had agreed in Sendai, we must admit that little has been achieved around the inclusion of persons with disabilities in disaster preparation, response, and recovery," said Vladimir Cuk, Executive Director of the International Disability Alliance (IDA).

Key Points: 
  • We will not achieve a sustainable and resilient society unless the human rights of all persons are protected, respected, and upheld.
  • In 2015, IDA, as an organization of persons with disabilities, was excited to see strong provisions on disability-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in the Sendai Framework.
  • The theme is " From Risk to Resilience: Towards Sustainable Development for All in a COVID-19 Transformed World ".
  • In this altered world, human rights are as relevant as ever in emergency response and Disaster Risk Reduction.
