Do OE devices work in similar ways to semiconductors (i.e. do they rely on pn junction etc)?

Hi! Yes, OE devices work similarly to the conventional, and they rely on organic molecules and polymers that can be semiconductors ( so you can fabricate, for example, a kind of pn junction, or the active layer of a transistor etc), or insulators ( for dielectrics in transistor, or device substrates), and even as conductors, though these latter are a limited class.
