1. An organic photosensitive optoelectronic device comprising:
- a substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface;
two transparent metal substitute electrode layers in superposed relationship upon said first major surface of said substrate; and
four photoconductive organic layers, having an inner pair and an outer pair, disposed between said two transparent metal substitute electrode layers, wherein said inner pair of said four photoconductive organic layers consists of a pair of photoconductive organic layers selected to form a photovoltaic heterojunction and selected to have spectral sensitivity in a specified region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and wherein said inner pair of said four photoconductive organic layers comprises aluminum tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) and 4,4′
-bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]biphenyl.
