The field of organic and polymeric electronics and photonics has progressed enormously in recent years as a result of worldwide activity in numerous research groups. Advances have been made both in the fields of devices and applications as well as in the underlying chemistry, physics, and materials science issues. The impact of this field will also influence many adjacent disciplines such as nanotechnology, sensors, and photonics.The growth of the field has been impressive. The first commercial products were based on photo-conductive films, a business now with annual sales in the multi-billion dollar range. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and displays based on light emitting diodes have been introduced to the market and a large expansion in market penetration has been forecast in the next decade. Efficiencies of organic and polymeric LEDs have reached figures close to theoretical maxima. Thin-film transistor based circuits and systems incorporating several hundred devices in flexible substrates have been demonstrated. These levels of integration are sufficient for application such as radio frequency identification tags. Transistors have also been successfully integrated with display elements such as PDLCs and electrophoretic cells and used as chemical sensors. Photodiodes have been fabricated with quantum efficiencies in excess of 70% and solar cells with power conversion efficiencies more than 3% have been reported. Solar cell efficiencies are expected to increase with improvements in materials design. There have been major strides made in understanding the physics of charge transport and luminescence and in understanding interfaces between organic materials and also between metals and organics. There continue to be advances made in the synthesis of new compounds and in improved synthetic procedures of important materials. Another area that has seen a lot of growth is the use of novel low-cost fabrication procedures such as in the realization of a variety of organic devices.Despite this impressive set of advances, it is clear that more research needs to be done. The chief objective of the workshop is to help define the future of the field. This will be done by having a series of experts give talks on key subjects and also by encouraging debate and discussion amongst all participants in a series of panels. The proceedings of the workshop will be a set of reports and discussion summaries by group leaders.The workshop will also have an impact on graduate education. A large number of universities offer courses in the general area of organic semiconductors, and the workshop will help define directions in this area as well as in retraining high technology workers for careers in the organic semiconductor field.

由于众多研究组的全球活动，有机和聚合电子和光子学领域在近年来取得了巨大发展。在设备和应用领域以及基础化学，物理和材料科学问题上都取得了进步。该领域的影响还将影响许多相邻学科，例如纳米技术，传感器和光子学。该领域的生长令人印象深刻。第一批商业产品是基于照片导电膜，该公司现在的年销售额数十亿美元。已经向市场引入了发光二极管（LED）和基于发光二极管的显示器，并且在未来十年中预计市场渗透率很大。有机和聚合物LED的效率已达到接近理论最大值的数字。已经证明了薄膜基晶体管的电路和系统，这些电路和系统已证明了在柔性底物中的几百个设备。这些集成水平足以用于应用，例如射频标识标签。 晶体管也已成功地与显示元素（如PDLC和电泳细胞）一起集成，并用作化学传感器。已经用超过70％的量子效率制造了光电二极管，据报道，据报道，已经据报道了3％以上的电池。随着材料设计的改善，预计太阳能电池效率将提高。在理解电荷运输和发光的物理以及理解有机材料之间以及金属和有机物之间的界面方面取得了重大大步。在合成新化合物和改进的重要材料的合成程序中，继续取得了进步。看到了很多增长的另一个领域是使用新型的低成本制造程序，例如实现各种有机设备。 研讨会的主要目标是帮助定义该领域的未来。这将通过一系列专家就关键主题进行谈判，并鼓励所有参与者之间的辩论和讨论来完成。研讨会的会议记录将是小组负责人的一系列报告和讨论摘要。研讨会还将对研究生教育产生影响。许多大学提供有机半导体一般领域的课程，研讨会将有助于定义该领域的方向以及在有机半导体领域的职业中培训高科技工作者。
