The integration of ultraflexible optical sensors with power sources faces challenges due to the insufficient air operational stability of polymer light-emitting diodes. However, by combining air-operation-stable polymer light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and organic photodetectors, a self-powered organic optical system for photoplethysmogram monitoring has been developed. This system demonstrates high linearity and stability, making it suitable for long-term health monitoring applications.
Ultraflexible optical devices have been used extensively in next-generation wearable electronics owing to their excellent conformability to human skins. Long-term health monitoring also requires the integration of ultraflexible optical devices with an energy-harvesting power source; to make devices self-powered. However, system-level integration of ultraflexible optical sensors with power sources is challenging because of insufficient air operational stability of ultraflexible polymer light-emitting diodes. Here we develop an ultraflexible self-powered organic optical system for photoplethysmogram monitoring by combining air-operation-stable polymer light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and organic photodetectors. Adopting an inverted structure and a doped polyethylenimine ethoxylated layer, ultraflexible polymer light-emitting diodes retain 70% of the initial luminance even after 11.3h of operation under air. Also, integrated optical sensors exhibit a high linearity with the light intensity exponent of 0.98 by polymer light-emitting diode. Such self-powered, ultraflexible photoplethysmogram sensors perform monitoring of blood pulse signals as 77 beats per minute. Flexible electronic devices remain an attractive technology for optical sensor applications that require long-term health monitoring and conformability on human skin. Here, the authors report an ultrathin self-powered integrated organic optical system for plethysmogram monitoring.
