Abstract:
1. A rectifier for an electronic device for converting an AC voltage present between two input terminals into a DC voltage, comprising: two input terminals; an antenna resonant circuit comprising an antenna and a capacitor; at least two organic diodes and/or organic field effect transistors, each having at least one electrical functional layer composed of a semiconducting organic material, and wherein the at least two organic diodes and/or organic field effect transistors are coupled to the antenna resonant circuit; and two or more charging or charge-reversal capacitors connected to the two or more organic diodes and/or organic field effect transistors for charging of or charge-reversal of the two or more capacitors via different current paths; the rectifier being constructed from two or more stages connected to one another, wherein in each case, two charging or charge-reversal capacitors and two organic diodes are connected such that the charging or charge-reversal capacitors are charged via different current paths, and in each case have two input terminals and two coupling terminals for coupling to the input terminals of a further stage.
