Magneto resistive elements and methods for manufacture and use of same

The instant disclosure provides and describes a magneto resistive element comprised of a first electrode; a second electrode; and a semi conductive/conductive organic layer disposed between the first and second electrodes, wherein the magneto resistive element has a predetermined resistance (R). The magneto resistive elements provide a magneto resistive response when influenced by an applied magnetic field. The magneto resistive elements can be integrated into a variety of systems including, without limitation, magnetic field detection systems and display devices.
