PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE AND SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347960 titled 'PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE AND SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a photoelectric conversion device, which is a device that converts light into electrical energy. - The device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer positioned between them. - The photoelectric conversion layer consists of a first material, a second material, and a third material. - The first and second materials form a pn junction, which is a type of semiconductor junction that allows current to flow in only one direction. - The third material is different from the first and second materials and is used to modify the distribution of energy levels in the first or second material. - The purpose of modifying the energy levels is to enhance the efficiency of the photoelectric conversion process. - The patent application also mentions that the photoelectric conversion device can be used in sensors and electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are a photoelectric conversion device, and a sensor and an electronic device including the same. The photoelectric conversion device may include a first electrode and a second electrode and a photoelectric conversion layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. The photoelectric conversion layer includes a first material and a second material, which form a pn junction, and a third material that is different from the first material and the second material. The third material is configured to modify a distribution of energy levels of the first material or the second material.
