Abstract

To understand material and device properties of organic electronics, some knowledge about organic photochemistry and photophysics is crucial. We do not attempt to cover many contents in this field due to space limitation, only several points, closely related to the devices described in this book, are introduced in this chapter, like energy quantization of molecule vibration, frontier molecular orbitals, excitons, typical photochemical reaction, etc.
