Abstract
A Lewis acid pigment solubilization (LAPS) process was introduced for the fabrication of organic pigment thin film devices. A wide range of heterocyclic pigments such as benzimidazole perylenes and phthalocyani nes has been solubilized in nitromethane in the presence of a Lewis ac id such as aluminum chloride. One should be able to fabricate a wide r ange of organic pigment thin films devices via LAPS, as we have demons trated in this paper for the fabrication of organic photoconductors.
