We report the first organic light-emitting field-effect transistor. The device structure comprises interdigitated gold source and drain electrodes on a Si/SiO(2) substrate. A polycrystalline tetracene thin film is vacuum sublimated on the substrate forming the active layer of the device. Both holes and electrons are injected from the gold contacts into this layer leading to electroluminescence from the tetracene. The output characteristics, transfer characteristics, and the optical emission properties of the device are reported. A possible mechanism for electron injection is suggested.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exhibit intriguing characteristics that position them as promising candidates for advancements in organic semiconductor technologies. Notably, tetracene finds substantial utility in Electronics due to its application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The strategic introduction of an isoelectronic boron-nitrogen (B,N) pair to replace a carbon-carbon pair in acenes introduces changes in the electronic structure, allowing for the controlled modulation of diradical characteristics.

Organic multilayer systems, which are stacked layers of different organic materials, are used in various organic electronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In particular, OFETs are promising as key components in flexible electronic devices. In this study, we investigated how the inclusion of an insulating tetratetracontane (TTC) interlayer in ambipolar indigo-based OFETs can be used to alter the crystallinity and electrical properties of the indigo charge transport layer.

Organic semiconductors have been widely studied owing to their potential applications in various devices, such as field-effect transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and image sensors. However, they have a limitation of significantly lower carrier mobility compared to silicon, which is a widely used inorganic semiconductor. Therefore, to address such limitations, these molecules should be further explored.

Article Synopsis
- Both p-type and n-type conjugated polymers are essential for creating organic optoelectronic devices, but n-type polymers, which have been slower to develop, are crucial for optimizing performance in devices like organic solar cells and transistors.
- A new electron-withdrawing building block called double boron-nitrogen coordination bond (BNBP) shows promise due to its stable structure and desirable electronic properties, making it a good candidate for developing n-type polymers.
- BNBP-based conjugated polymers have demonstrated excellent optoelectronic characteristics, including high electron mobility and strong fluorescence, making them effective in a variety of optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting diodes and photodetectors.
