Abstract

The present full-color imaging techniques rely on the use of broadband inorganic photodetectors with dedicated color filters, which is one of the practical challenges for large-area, flexible, and high-solution imaging applications. The development of high-performance color-selective photodetectors is one of the key solutions to overcome this challenge. In this work, an electrically switchable color-selective organic photodetector (OPD) comprising a double organic bulk heterojunction structure has been developed for full-color imaging. The color-selective sensing capability over the visible spectrum ranges can be realized by controlling the bias across the OPD, achieving a high responsivity of ∼200 mA/W, a large linear dynamic range of 122 dB, a viewing angle of 120°, and a -3 dB cutoff frequency of >50 kHz. A full-color imaging function has been demonstrated using electrically switchable red-, green-, and blue-color selective OPD sensors with an excellent operational stability. The results of this work provide a practical solution for applications in high-resolution full-color imaging and artificial vision.
