This lecture covers the history, challenges, and quantum mechanics behind organic electronics, focusing on intramolecular electron delocalization and semiconductor materials preparation. It delves into electron delocalization, charge formation, transport, and basic organic electronic devices, including field-effect transistors, photovoltaic devices, and light-emitting diodes. Advanced topics such as defects, sensors, bioelectronics, and sustainable electronics are also discussed, along with the future of organic electronics. The lecture explores the working principles of organic field-effect transistors, thin film transistors, and the response of organic field-effect transistors in different regimes.
