Organics-based optoelectronic technology is gaining attention as an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly electronic device for Internet of Things (IoT)-based wireless sensors and low-power indoor electronics. Among them, organic photovoltaic (OPV) and organic photodetector (OPD) efficiently utilize ambient unutilized or low-light to generate electricity and detect light to implement images. Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) can be used to harvest indoor energy, while organic photodetectors (OPDs) can be used like cameras, utilizing indoor light for imaging as needed.
