Abstract
ABSTRACTLarge area polymer photodiode arrays were designed and fabricated for full-color imaging applications. These sensor arrays are of high photosensitivity, low dark current, large dynamic range and fast response time. The red, green and blue color primaries were achieved by coupling a set of color filters with the polymer sensor pixels with broad response covering entire visible spectrum. Image recovery process from the pixel photocurrent data was developed, which is suitable generally to image arrays with power-law light intensity dependence and with finite pixel dark current. Large sensing length photodiode arrays (2.5”5”) were fabricated with pixel densities from 40 to 100 dot-per-inch. They were used as the sensing elements in page size document scanners. Voltage switchable polymer photodetectors were developed. Their photosensitivity can be switched on and off with external bias. These devices can be used as the sensing elements in x-y addressable two-dimensional sensor matrices. The high on/off switching ratio and high photocurrent/dark-current ratio allow such two-dimensional, passive photosensor matrices be used for image sensing applications.
