Abstract.
The development of electronics devices based on organic materials presents one of the most exciting challenges in XXI science. Already products based on organic thin films are in the market place, however the initial work in development of molecular-scale electronics has been done. The purpose of this review is to provide a general information about electronics devices incorporating organic materials and organic molecules acting as simple electronics devices.
