Claim Text:
1. An electronic device for implementing digital functions comprising: an interposing region that includes a first dielectric region; and a first electrode region and a second electrode region separated from each other by the interposing region, wherein said first and second electrode regions include a first electrode and a second electrode, respectively, that are configured to generate an electrode electric field in the interposing region depending on an electric potential difference to be applied to the first and second electrodes, wherein: the interposing region includes a molecular layer including a plurality of molecules, each configured to be responsive to a sensed electric field and assume one or more electric states, in a controllable manner, according to the sensed electric field; and said first dielectric region has a spatially variable dielectric profile that is configured to define a corresponding field profile of said electrode electric field and to spatially modulate said sensed electric field at the molecular layer.
