硅电路可提供许多纤巧型电路的高速开关,而且很适合在小型LED和光电二极管中使用。然而,对于那些必需廉价、环保、可丢弃甚至可弯曲的系统来说,硅是有局限性的。而有机电路在这些方面则性能超群。这些电路采用了其开发者最终获得2000年度诺贝尔化学奖的技术,由一种导电聚合物组 Silicon circuits provide high-speed switching of many tiny circuits and are well-suited for use in small LEDs and photodiodes. However, silicon is limited for those systems that must be inexpensive, environmentally friendly, discardable and even bendable. Organic circuits excel in these areas. These circuits use the technology whose developers eventually receive the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, consisting of a conductive polymer stack
