Patent ID: 7265379

Claim:
An organic electronic device comprising electro-active organic materials provided in a capacitor-like structure and capable of responding physically or chemically when subjected to electric fields or currents, wherein the capacitor-like structure is a layered structure comprising first set and second set of respective electrodes contacting a layer of the electro-active organic materials on either side thereof, wherein at least one electro-active organic material in the capacitor-like structure forms a dielectric material of the capacitor-like structure, and can be accessed electrically directly or indirectly via the electrodes, wherein each capacitor-like structure can be addressed selectively for evoking an electro-active response, and further comprising at least one functional interlayer composed of one or more high-ε dielectric materials comprising molecular moieties linked to phosphonic or phosphoric acid groups or salts of the same, wherein one functional interlayer is provided between at least one of the electrodes and the interfacing electro-active organic materials, and wherein, in case more than one interlayer is provided, said interlayers can have similar or different compositions.
