Abstract

Paper substrate has many advantages, such as low cost, bendable, foldable, printable, and environmentally friendly recycling. Nowadays, paper has been further extended as a flexible platform to deliver electronic information with the integration of organic optoelectronic devices, such as organic thin-film transistor, organic solar cell, organic electrochromic device, and organic light-emitting device. It has great potential to become the new generation of flexible substrate. Given rough surface and porous of paper, many efforts have been underway in recent years to enable the compatibility between optoelectronics and paper substrate. In this review, we present the development history of paper and its physicochemical properties, and summarize the current development of paper-based organic optoelectronic devices. We also discuss the challenges that need to be addressed before practical uses of paper-based organic optoelectronic devices.
