Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in organic optoelectronic materials and their applications. The field of organic optoelectronics has seen rapid advancements in recent years, with significant progress being made in the design and synthesis of novel materials for use in various optoelectronic devices such as organic/perovskite light-emitting diodes (OLEDs/PLEDs), organic/perovskite photovoltaics (OPVs/PPs), and organic/perovskite field-effect transistors (OFETs/PFETs).

The articles included in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics, including the development of novel organic semiconducting materials, advances in device fabrication and characterization techniques, as well as the exploration of novel applications for these materials. Additionally, several contributions focus on the fundamental understanding of charge transport mechanisms and exciton dynamics in organic materials.

Overall, this Special Issue serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working in the field of organic optoelectronics, providing insights into the current state-of-the-art research and future directions for further advancement. We hope that readers will find this collection informative and inspiring for their own work in this exciting area of research.

Abstract
Two new yellow azo pyridone derivatives, (E)-6-hydroxy-1-(3-methoxypropyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-5-(p-tolyldiazenyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (APY-M) and 5,5′-((1E,1′E)-(methylenebis(4,1-phenylene))bis(diazene-2,1-diyl))bis(6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile) (APY-D), were designed and synthesized as yellow colorants for image sensors. The properties of these new compounds were evaluated in both solution and color filter film forms, focusing on their optical and thermal [...] Read more.
Two new yellow azo pyridone derivatives, (E)-6-hydroxy-1-(3-methoxypropyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-5-(p-tolyldiazenyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (APY-M) and 5,5′-((1E,1′E)-(methylenebis(4,1-phenylene))bis(diazene-2,1-diyl))bis(6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile) (APY-D), were designed and synthesized as yellow colorants for image sensors. The properties of these new compounds were evaluated in both solution and color filter film forms, focusing on their optical and thermal characteristics. The molar extinction coefficient values of APY-M and APY-D in solution were found to be 2.7 × 105 and 3.0 × 105 L/mol·cm, respectively. The transmittance of the newly synthesized compounds met commercial requirements, showing values below 0.21% at 435 nm and above 97.1% at 530 nm. APY-D exhibited a molar extinction coefficient value in solution that was 1.15 times higher than that of the commercially used yellow colorant Disperse Yellow 241. Both newly synthesized compounds satisfied the decomposition temperature requirement of over 230 °C, which is essential for the color filter manufacturing process in image sensors. In particular, APY-D, with its dimeric structure and increased molecular weight, demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, with a 50 °C increase in decomposition temperature compared to Disperse Yellow 241. Color filter films for image sensors were fabricated using the new compounds, and their thermal resistance was evaluated. APY-D maintained its transmittance due to the enhanced thermal stability provided by its dimer structure and increased molecular weight. Consequently, APY-D is anticipated to be a promising candidate for use as a yellow colorant in image sensors, owing to its excellent optical and thermal properties. Full article
