Abstract
We developed metal–insulator–semiconductor-type organic light-emitting transistors (MIS-OLETs), and improved their properties by optimizing the device structure. MIS-OLETs showed a maximum drain current of ID = -149 µA, maximum luminance of 1034 cd/m2 (VD = -20 V, VG = -50 V) and on/off ratio of over 104. Moreover an active-matrix display using MIS-OLETs on a plastic substrate was fabricated. The developed 16×16 active-matrix-drive organic light-emitting transistors (AMOLET) showed excellent properties by optimizing device structure.
