由柳教授领导的集成有机电子实验室（IOEL）专注于开发基于有机材料的新型设备架构和集成系统，涉及三个主要领域：显示，能源和灵活的低成本电子产品。柳教授目前领导KAIST三星显示研究中心，该中心主持了一个跨多个部门的跨学科联盟。主要任务就是探索有机电子产品在显示、能源和柔性低成本电子产品方面的可能性。
C. Tang（柯达）首次使用小分子展示的有机发光二极管（OLED）作为下一代平板显示器的构建模块引起了极大的兴趣。IOEL的研究重点是从有源矩阵OLED（AMOLED）显示器和固态照明的设备级改进中推进OLED技术。
当今对能源日益增长的需求需要可持续的可再生能源，例如光伏（PV）技术。基于类似于OLED的异质结构的有机太阳能电池正迅速成为传统光伏技术的潜在低成本替代品。然而，为了使这项技术充分发挥其潜力，需要克服许多障碍。IOEL的使命是通过寻找创新的方式来实现可扩展和实用的有机光伏（OPV）技术。
通过低成本工艺（如印刷）制备的有机或某些氧化物场效应晶体管（FET）有望在电子设备之前发挥重要作用，这些电子设备可以从薄而灵活的外形中受益，并且类似于超低的制造成本。
The Laboratory for Integrated Organic Electronics (IOEL), led by Professor Liu, focuses on the development of novel device architectures and integrated systems based on organic materials in three main areas: display, energy, and flexible, low-cost electronics. Professor Liu currently leads the KAIST Samsung Display Research Center, which hosts an interdisciplinary consortium across multiple departments. The main task is to explore the possibilities of organic electronics in terms of display, energy and flexible low-cost electronics.
C. Tang's first use of small molecule demonstrations of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as building blocks for next-generation flat panel displays has attracted great interest. IOEL's research focus is to advance OLED technology from device-level improvements in active matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays and solid-state lighting.
Today's growing demand for energy requires sustainable renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) technology. Organic solar cells based on heterostructures similar to OLEDs are rapidly emerging as a potential low-cost alternative to traditional photovoltaic technology. However, in order for this technology to reach its full potential, many obstacles need to be overcome. IOEL's mission is to enable scalable and practical organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology by finding innovative ways.
Organic or certain oxide field-effect transistors (FETs) prepared by low-cost processes such as printing are expected to play an important role ahead of electronic devices that can benefit from a thin, flexible form factor and are similar to ultra-low manufacturing costs.
