Abstract
An optoelectronic system comprising a flexible optoelectronic device, wherein the device comprises a flexible plastic substrate, a coating comprising a glass or a polymer, positioned over the flexible plastic substrate, an anode and a cathode positioned over the coating, an organic heterojunction positioned between the anode and the cathode, comprising a donor material and an acceptor material, and an encapsulating layer comprising a glass or a polymer, positioned over the anode and the cathode. The device further comprises a roller configured to roll the flexible optoelectronic device into a stored position and a frame configured to mount the roller and the optoelectronic device.
