An optoelectronic device which can read magnetically stored information, and convert it into optical light signals using organic or 'plastic' semiconductors is described. Such a device may use OLEDs, and may be termed an 'organic magneto-optic transducer' (OMOT). An OMOT device can read magnetically stored information, and convert it into optical light signals. The OMOT may provide benefits such as non-volatile storage, flexible films, reduced cost, and operation at room temperature.

Organic magnetoelectroluminescence for transduction between magnetic and optical information

The instant disclosure provides and describes a magneto resistive element comprised of a first electrode; a second electrode; and a semi conductive/conductive organic layer disposed between the first and second electrodes, wherein the magneto resistive element has a predetermined resistance (R). The magneto resistive elements provide a magneto resistive response when influenced by an applied magnetic field. The magneto resistive elements can be integrated into a variety of systems including, without limitation, magnetic field detection systems and display devices.
