9.5 CONCLUSION
In this chapter, we have reviewed recent progress in applying shape-persistent
dendrimers in organic electronics. In the areas of DLEDs, conjugated dendrimers
are already established as a promising type of material, even for commercialization. In
other areas, they remain at an early stage of development. For each application, the
dendrimer structure should be carefully designed to meet the specific requirements of
the device. Thanks to the increasing amount of synthetic tools and conjugated
building blocks available, we expect shape-persistent conjugated dendrimers to play
a more significant role in the development of organic electronics in the near future.
