BANERJI, Amitabh; TAUSCH, Michael W.  e  SCHERF, Ullrich. Classroom experiments and teaching materials on OLEDs with semiconducting polymers. Educ. quím [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.1, pp.17-22. ISSN 0187-893X.

Organic semiconductors are a new class of materials representing an innovative field of scientific research. Efficient illuminants, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), will soon help reduce the world's energy consumption for lightning. Today OLEDs can already be found in ultra-thin and super-bright displays of modern mobile high-tech applications. This contribution provides an experimental and conceptual approach for the curricular integration of luminescent semiconducting polymers into science classes.
