In recent years, there has been an enormous research effort on both materials and processes for the production of electronic devices on flexible polymeric substrates. Flexible electronics encompass a broad set of technologies applicable across a range of products, from flexible solar cells, printed solid state lighting, to medical devices, etc. Precise control of film thickness and optical constants is vital for optimization of the device performance (efficiency, reliability, cost, etc.) In this work, we demonstrate the use of ellipsometry as a non-destructive, powerful and sensitive optical means of studying organic electronic devices. Examples in two specific areas of applications are included: OLED, and organic solar cell based on the blend of P3HT and PCBM.
