NOVELTY - An organic optoelectronic device comprises a multi-layer structure comprised of two electrode layers and at least one organic photoelectric layer, which is an anisotropically absorbing and electrically conducting layer comprised of rodlike supramolecules which comprise at least one polycyclic organic compound with a conjugated pi system and has globally ordered crystal structure.    USE - In a multielement organic photosensitive optoelectronic device (claimed). For converting radiation into electricity i.e. for converting solar energy into electrical energy and for signal detection in photoconductor cell and photodetector. To drive power consuming loads for e.g. lighting, heating or to operate electronic equipment. As detectors of linearly polarized electromagnetic radiation.    ADVANTAGE - The organic photoelectric layer has capability to absorb an electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined spectral range of 200 - 3000 nm. The presence of global order in the organic photoelectric layer leads to an increase in the mobility of electrons and holes in this layer and, to the corresponding increase in the diffusion length of photogenerated excitons as compared to that in a polycrystalline layer and leads to a decrease in the density of the electron-hole recombination centers, which leads to significant reduction in the recombination of both free electrons and holes and the electron-hole pairs bound in excitons, thus providing an increase in the conversion efficiency of the organic photosensitive optoelectric devices.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The globally ordered crystal structure is with an intermolecular spacing of 3.4+/-0.3 Angstrom along a polarization axis of the photoelectric layer and absorbs electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined radiation in a predetermined spectral subrange of 200 - 3000 nm. The multi-layer structure is formed on one side of the substrate and at least one of the electrodes is transparent for electromagnetic radiation to which the optoelectronic device is sensitive. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (a) a multielement organic photosensitive optoelectronic device comprising a system of organic photovoltaic elements; and    (b) obtaining an anisotropically absorbing and electrically conducting layer.
