Ching Tang
Ching Tang is one of the founders of organic semiconductor device technology. His landmark work while at the Eastman Kodak Company in the 1980s resulted in the invention of multilayer, small-molecule organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Through these breakthroughs, he and his colleagues demonstrated that organic semiconductors could function in ways analogous to inorganic semiconductors in their ability to transport charge and absorb or emit light.
