Jeremy Henley BurroughesFREngFRS(born August 1960) is a Britishphysicistandengineer,known for his contributions to the development oforganic electronicsthrough his work on the science ofsemiconductingpolymersandmoleculesand their application.[6]He is the Chief Technology Officer ofCambridge Display Technology,a company specialising in the development of technologies based onpolymer light-emitting diodes.
Education
[edit]Burroughes earned his PhD from theUniversity of Cambridgein 1989.[3]His thesis was entitledThe physical processes in organic semiconducting polymer devices.[7]
Work
[edit]Early in his career, Burroughes discovered that certainconjugated polymerswere capable of emittinglightwhen anelectric currentpassed through them. The discovery of this previously unknown form ofelectroluminescenceled to the foundation of Cambridge Display Technology where Burroughes has been responsible for a number of technology innovations, including the direct printing of full-colourOLED displays.[6]
Awards and honours
[edit]Burroughes was elected aFellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2012.[6]His certificate of election reads:
Burroughes made the seminal advances in the science and engineering of semiconducting polymers that have brought these materials from research to the marketplace. His early papers from Cambridge on polymerFETs(1988) andLEDs(1990) defined the scope of the field. In his role as Chief Technology Officer at Cambridge Display Technology he has transformed early demonstration into fullymanufacturabletechnology, using new device architectures, new materials and new manufacturing processes such as direct printing of full colour LED displays. This engineering programme has generated fundamental understanding of the underlying device physics.[8]
