The current success of organic semiconductor technology is mainly driven by the development of organic light emitting diodes (OLED), which are now routinely employed in display technologies.

In the last decade, however, organic photovoltaics (OPV), leveraging the impressive improvement in device efficiency and stability, have gradually moved from a lab curiosity to a niche market. Their recent
success has coincided with the rapid development of effective replacements for the fullerene-based materials that have been prevalent as electron acceptor materials until recently; namely the small molecule non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). Through strategic design, an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) configuration afforded highly absorbing small molecules with tunable energetics, thereby
allowing the achievement of record power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) in OPVs. This relatively new class of materials offers a number of opportunities to develop new areas of research. Between those, organic photodetector (OPD), a technology-based on organic photodiodes and thus closely related to OPV, is one of the most exciting. In this seminar, I will review the current state-of-the-art of OPV technology and provide my perspective on the future development of this technology as well as novel ventures for organic photodiodes.
