Grading policies 1. LECTURE: form - final test and individual presentation of a scientific article; criteria - obtaining the appropriate number of points from the final test, individual presentation given in a transparent manner taking into account the motivation, methods, and results described in the article, the student can answer questions related to the presented article. 2. PROJECT: form - periodic group reports and a final report and presentation; criteria - correct preparation of all the reports from subsequent stages of teamwork in the laboratory, preparation of a final report, and a summary presentation by each project group.
Course content LECTURE: Genesis and basics of flexible optoelectronics; review of applications. Types of materials used in flexible optoelectronics (mono- and polycrystalline electronic components, flexible connection materials, insulating materials, new intelligent materials). Types and properties of flexible substrates. Laboratory and mass production technologies of flexible optoelectronic components and systems (printing and coating techniques, thin film deposition methods, roll-to-roll technology). Flexible photovoltaics (physical basics, materials used, review of technologies and applications), transparent photovoltaics. PROJECT: The project part is conducted in the Flexible Electronics Technology Laboratory and consists of exercises, illustrating the content of the lecture. Practical tasks show various methods of layer deposition used in flexible electronics and concern research on basic elastic and electronic parameters of selected flexible electronic components, and materials used in flexible optoelectronics. Students will become familiar with measurement methods to determine the basic parameters of flexible electronic components, substrates, and active materials. In the final stage of the project, students will design and manufacture their own test flexible optoelectronic element. OTHER: Preparation for the implementation of the project in laboratory groups, additional consultations with the supervisor, literature/internet research, preparation of the structure of the presentation, and practice of its delivery.
