COVER STORY
Polymers Related to Flexible Electronic Devices
Thin films produced from polymers have attracted much attention as next-generation electronic devices because of their unique features like flexibility, light weight, and printability etc. Such organic molecules can be applicable in electronic devices such as electronic papers, organic electroluminescence displays, organic field-effect transistors, organic thin-film photovoltaics, dye-sensitization solar cells, and insulation materials. The development of these materials requires design and synthesis of molecules, preparation and evaluation of devices, and analysis of processes. In this issue we are focusing on design, synthesis and function of flexible polymers bearing excellent physical properties. Recent trends and future prospects related to flexible electronic devices are additionally introduced.
