  • Publication number: 20100176381
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a display device in which an operational characteristic in a bottom gate type organic semiconductor thin film transistor can be maintained to a stable characteristic without receiving an influence of an electrode provided on an upper layer thereof, and a display with a high reliability can be realized by using this as a driver element. A bottom gate type thin film transistor Tr provided on a substrate 1 and a pixel electrode a provided on an upper part of the thin film transistor Tr via a protection film 11 and an inter-layer insulating film 15 are provided, and between the thin film transistor Tr and the pixel electrode a, a conductive shield layer 13a is arranged while an insulation property is maintained between these.

  • Publication number: 20090309103
    Abstract: A display device includes source/drain electrodes on a substrate, a pixel electrode, an insulating partition wall layer, a channel-region semiconductor layer. The source/drain electrodes and the pixel electrode are formed on the substrate and in contact with each other. The insulating partition wall layer is formed on the substrate and provided with a first opening extending to between the source electrode and the drain electrode and a second opening formed on the pixel electrode and extending to the pixel electrode. The channel-region semiconductor layer is formed on the bottom of the first opening. The insulating film is formed on the partition wall layer so as to cover the first opening including the channel-region semiconductor layer. The oriented film covers the first opening from above the insulating film and the second opening from the pixel electrode.

  • Publication number: 20080315190
    Abstract: This invention provides an organic thin film transistor, which can realize the modification of the surface of a gate insulating layer not only the case where the gate insulating layer is formed of an oxide, but also the case where the gate insulating layer is formed of a material other than the oxide and consequently can significantly improve transistor characteristics, and a method for surface modification of a gate insulating layer in the organic thin film transistor. In an organic thin film transistor comprising a gate insulating layer, an organic semiconductor layer stacked on the gate insulating layer, and an electrode provided on the organic semiconductor layer, a polyparaxylylene layer formed of a continuous polyparaxylylene film is formed on the surface of the gate insulating layer, between the gate insulating layer and the organic semiconductor layer, so as to face and contact with the organic semiconductor layer.

  • Publication number: 20040245527
    Abstract: Disclosed is a terminal for an organic material, which comprises a carbon nanotube to be in contact with an organic material having a 6-membered carbon ring, and a metal that is in contact with a part of the carbon nanotube. The carbon nanotube remarkably improves an electric conductivity between the organic material and the metal.
