The objective of the present study is to demonstrate and evaluate the photorefractive (PR) performance of an all-organic PR device with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-modified organic conductive electrode of PEDOT:PSS coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The PR composite consisted of a triphenylamine-based photoconductive polymer: poly(4-(diphenylamino)benzyl acrylate) (PDAA), a triphenylamine photoconductive plasticizer: (4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)methanol (TPAOH), a nonlinear optical dye based on aminocyanostyrene: (4asacycloheptylbenzylidenemalononitrile) (7-DCST), and soluble fullerene: [6,6]-phenyl C 61 butyric acid-methyl ester (PCBM). For comparison with the all-organic PR device, the PR performances using PET/ITO, glass/ITO, and glass/PEDOT:PSS substrates were also evaluated. At an applied electric field of 40 V μm −1 , the diffraction efficiency and the response time of the PR device using the PET/PEDOT:PSS-SAM substrate were 21.9%, and 390 ms, respectively. As a result of repeating bending tests on this all-organic PR device, we found that the flexible PR device with the PET/PEDOT:PSS-SAM substrate had a potential to withstand bending 10 000 times and that the change in the haze value strongly influenced the degradation of PR performance.
