In this article, we compare two different kinds of commercial light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in transmission and organic photodetectors based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and a phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend used as active layer in reception. Photovoltaic cells based on massive heterojunctions of semiconductor polymers have focused the attention of researchers due to their several potential advantages over their inorganic counterparts, such as their simplicity, low cost, and ability to process large area devices, even on flexible substrates. Furthermore, in logistics, storage management systems require the implementation of technological solutions that allow the control of merchandise in real time by means of light-emitting diode signals that send information about the product. However, the slow response time of these organic photodetectors should not be critical for this application, where the light intensity changes are very slow, which limits the speed of data transmission compared to inorganic based systems that use wireless optical communications. Finally, we show a low-cost visible light communication system based on organic photodetectors with a frame based on on-off keying with Manchester encoding to support device-to-device connections.

In Visible Light Communication (VLC) Systems, data are transmitted by modulating light from an illumination source, that could be an ordinary lamp or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Photovoltaic cells based on massive heterojunctions of semiconductor polymers have focused the attention of researchers due to several potential advantages over their inorganic counterparts, such as simplicity, low cost and the ability to process large area devices even on flexible substrates. In this paper, we use commercial LEDs in transmission and organic photodetectors (OPD) based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and a phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend used as active layer in reception. We have fabricated and characterized the I-V curve and the Bit Error Rate (BER) response of the OPD using low cost processing techniques and we have used an Atmel 8-bit microcontroller in order to control the electronics to transmit and modulate the signal. Finally, in this work, we have developed and characterized organic photodetectors in a low cost visible light communications system capable of transmitting an image file in real-time, as a proof of concept that is cost effective, since the whole system was implemented using low cost components.

To increase the data capacity of a light-emitting diode (LED) based visible light communication (VLC) transmission, a polarization-division-multiplexing (PMD) green (G)- and blue (B)- light-based transmitter (Tx) module is demonstrated here. It was demonstrated that we can achieve 1200 and 1120 Mbps VLC capacities based on dual-polarized G- and a B-LED based light wave after 3 and 4 m free-space link lengths, respectively, at exceedingly low illuminance. Based on the presented VLC system, paired G-LEDs or B-LEDs with dual-polarization can also be applied on the VLC-Tx side for doubling and delivering VLC data. According to the obtained results, the largest polarization offset angle of 50° between two polarizers (POLs) can be allowed experimentally to provide optimal VLC traffic. Moreover, the relationships of polarization offset, the illuminance of LED and maximum achieved VLC capacity are also performed and analyzed.

Recently, inkjet printing technology has attracted much attention due to the advantages of drop-on-demand deposition, low-cost and large-area production for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. However, there are still some problems in industrial production and practical application, such as the complexity of ink modulation, high-quality films with homogeneous morphology, and the re-dissolution phenomenon at interfaces. In this work, a printable poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) ink is developed and obtains an adjustable viscosity. Finally, a patterned PEDOT:PSS electrode is fabricated by inkjet printing, and achieves a high conductivity of 1213 S/cm, a transparency of 86.8% and a uniform morphology without coffee-ring effect. Furthermore, the vacuum-evaporated and solution-processed OLEDs are fabricated based on this electrode and demonstrate a current efficiency of 61 cd/A, which is comparable to that of the indium tin oxide counterpart. This work confirms the feasibility of inkjet printing technology to prepare patterned electrodes and expects that it can be used to fabricate highly efficient optoelectronic devices.

Visible light communication (VLC) also known as "Li-Fi", uses standard LEDs to transmit data such as information, images, music, and videos. The first LED was developed in 1927 by Oleg Vladimírovich Lósev (1903-1942), however it was not used in the industry until the 1960s.In this paper, will describe the implementation of Modified Phase Equalization (MPH) on visible white LED lamps signal because it's has slow transition time that severely limits in the communication system data speeds with phase equalization that increases the bandwidth of the LED modulation. Employ two filters with Modified Phase Equalization: first, Complementary (C) filter to combine between all kinds moving signals and second, finite impulse response (FIR) filter to obtain all coefficients that respective. Implementation in two phases: first, frequency 150KHz with number of signals 15000 signals and second, doubling frequency 300KHz with number of signals 30000 signals of LEDs without losing their main functionality as illumination sources.
