Abstract

Abstract Organic photodiodes (OPDs) have recently garnered attention as a competitive alternative to their inorganic counterparts, given their inherent advantages in solution processability, mechanical flexibility, and cost‐effective manufacturing. In this work, a novel method for fabricating high‐performance semitransparent color OPDs by integrating Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometer‐based color‐filtering electrodes and solution‐processed distributed Bragg reflectors (sDBRs) is introduced. The FP electrode provides color control by modulating the metal oxide layer thickness, irrespective of the photoactive layer's color. To overcome limitations related to light absorption and device transparency, this work employs a sDBR as a selective window reflector, allowing the OPD to retain its color while preserving semitransparency. The experimental findings demonstrate the successful integration of these components, resulting in semitransparent red, green, and blue (RGB) OPDs exhibiting significantly improved detectivity. The fabricated RGB‐OPDs achieve detectivity values of 4.07, 3.49, and 4.22 × 1010 cm Hz1/2 W−1 for red, green, and blue, respectively. This research highlights the efficacy of FP and sDBR color filters in realizing high‐performance color sensors and offer novel opportunities for semitransparent OPD integration with other optoelectronic devices.
