Abstract
Responsible innovation in developing countries should be part of the university culture. Global innovation processes during the last two decades envision a fast development in humanity with promising applications such as portable, wearable, implantable, and even compatible with biological systems and electronic devices. Innovation as a culture in other research and development centers has achieved successful and exciting advances in different organic electronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, organic photovoltaic systems, organic field-effect transistors, sensors, and memories. Here, an updated review is carried out on the emerging and innovative field of organic electronics. The focus is to provide a clear introduction to the field while highlighting its advantages and disadvantages. Also included are two primary devices considered distinguished in organic electronics: organic solar cells and organic field-effect transistors. For each of the selected devices in this review, the state-of-the-art is addressed, the basic principle of operation is discussed, and examples are highlighted, which sets the point to innovative processes. Finally, a discussion is provided with the perspective for including an innovative field in the research culture of Ecuador.
