Chung-Ang University Researchers Unveil the Mechanism of Noise and Signal Detection, Enhancing Organic Photodetector Performance for Advanced Image Sensors
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.
- 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.
