We will design, engineer and integrate flexible logic circuits base on semiconducting organic molecules. The key distinction of these circuits is that they will be flexible for integration into emerging lighting, displays, and visualization technologies and designed with customers of these technologies in mind. The proposed research fits into the NSERC SPG target area Advanced Manufacturing and the research topic Lightweight Materials and Technologies. These areas are expected to grow rapidly over the next 5 years with the widespread adoption of novel lighting and display elements, the internet of things, new types of wearable electronics and personal medical devices (sensors and monitors). Recent advances in the Li group at the University of Waterloo and the Seferos Group at the University of Toronto, as well as their collaborative efforts set the stage for success in the proposed project. Yuning Li and Dwight Seferos have collaborated over the past 3 years developing the chemistry for and proving the function of materials required for flexible logic circuits. This includes the demonstration of both p-channel and n-channel devices based on novel materials developed in their respective fundamental research programs. We will partner with Ontario-based OTI Lumionics to develop flexible logic circuits in the context of novel lighting and visualization elements with flexible form factors. OTI is a manufacturer of organic light emitting diode enabled products, including the AereLight lamp. Part of OTI's future product offerings will include very low cost, flexible, and disposable visualization elements. They have research and manufacturing capability that makes them ideal to receive the proposed technology.

我们将设计、工程和集成基于半导体有机分子的柔性逻辑电路。这些电路的主要区别在于，它们可以灵活地集成到新兴的照明、显示和可视化技术中，并在设计时考虑到这些技术的客户。拟议的研究符合 NSERC SPG 目标领域先进制造和研究主题轻质材料和技术。随着新型照明和显示元件、物联网、新型可穿戴电子产品和个人医疗设备（传感器和监视器）的广泛采用，这些领域预计将在未来 5 年内快速增长。滑铁卢大学 Li 小组和多伦多大学 Seferos 小组的最新进展以及他们的合作努力为拟议项目的成功奠定了基础。 Yuning Li 和 Dwight Seferos 在过去 3 年中合作开发了柔性逻辑电路所需材料的化学成分并证明了其功能。这包括基于各自基础研究项目中开发的新型材料的 p 沟道和 n 沟道器件的演示。我们将与位于安大略省的 OTI Lumionics 合作，在具有灵活外形尺寸的新型照明和可视化元素的背景下开发灵活的逻辑电路。 OTI 是一家有机发光二极管产品制造商，其中包括 AereLight 灯。 OTI 未来的部分产品将包括成本极低、灵活且一次性的可视化元素。他们拥有研究和制造能力，这使他们成为接受拟议技术的理想选择。
