Organic semiconductors will have a large impact on consumer electronics.  Organic LEDs are now widely used in cell-phone displays and have potential for use in solid-state lighting.  Organic solar cells recently entered the market in consumer products such as Konarka’s Power Plastic for solar bags.  Following this first wave of organic photonics products, there is significant research interest to develop future technologies, such as organic lasers and optical amplifiers.  These next-generation devices will offer coherent light emission across the visible spectrum for applications ranging from chemical sensing to data communications.  [SPIE Newsroom, 22 Nov 2010]
