  • Publication number: 20070054212
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an organic transistor active substrate is disclosed. The organic transistor active substrate includes an organic transistor in which a first electrode is formed on a substrate, a first insulating film is formed on the first electrode, a pair of second electrodes is formed on the first insulating film, and an active layer made of an organic semiconductor material is formed on the pair of second electrodes. The organic transistor is laminated with a second insulating film, and the second insulating film is laminated with a third electrode which is electrically coupled to one of the second electrodes via a through-hole provided through the second insulating film. The first electrode is formed by inkjet ejection; the first insulating film is formed by coating; the pair of second electrodes is formed by inkjet ejection; the active layer is formed by inkjet ejection; the second insulating film is formed by screen printing; and the third electrode is formed by screen printing.

  • Publication number: 20060243971
    Abstract: An organic transistor is capable of emitting light at high luminescence efficiency, operating at high speed, handling large electric power, and can be manufactured at low cost. The organic transistor includes an organic semiconductor layer between a source electrode and a drain electrode, and gate electrodes shaped like a comb or a mesh, which are provided at intervals approximately in the central part of the organic semiconductor layer approximately parallel to the source electrode and the drain electrode. The organic semiconductor layer consists of an electric field luminescent organic semiconductor material such as compounds of naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, hexacene, a phthalocyanine system compound, an azo system compound, a perylene system compound, a triphenylmethane compound, a stilbene compound, poly N-vinyl carbazole, and poly vinyl pyrene.
