The authors have devised a novel organic light-emitting transistor (OLET) with a PN-heteroboundary combined with hole and electron transport materials (in other words, p-type and n-type organic semiconductors) along carrier channels. In this device, a clear modulation of the current and luminance with the gate voltage was observed. A luminance of 100 cd/m2 or more has been observed at the source–source voltage of 15 V with the turn-on voltage of 10 V or less, which is lower than that of OLETs based on a single organic material. The horizontal PN-heteroboundary structure has been implemented for the first time by using the photolithographic patterning of organic semiconductor thin films. This patterning technique can be applied to the fabrication of not only the OLETs reported in this work, but also to organic integrated circuits or organic displays.

We develop a methodology to measure the diffusion of dark triplet excitons in organic semiconductor thin films using a phosphorescent sensitizer-based approach that explicitly quantifies quenching efficiency by varying sensitizer concentration.

Morphology modulation offers significant control over organic electronic device performance. However, morphology quantification has been rarely carried out via image analysis. In this work, we designed a MATLAB program to evaluate two key parameters describing morphology of small molecule semiconductor thin films: fractal dimension and film coverage. We then employ this program in a case study of meniscus-guided coating of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C<sub>8</sub>-BTBT) under various conditions to analyze a diverse and complex morphology set. The evolution of morphology in terms of fractal dimension and film coverage was studied as a function of coating speed. We discovered that combined fractal dimension and film coverage can quantitatively capture the key characteristics of C<sub>8</sub>-BTBT thin film morphology; change of these two parameters further inform morphology transition. Furthermore, fractal dimension could potentially shed light on thin film growth mechanisms.

Here, we applied rubbing on thiophene derivate organic semiconductor thin films to induce a reversible mechanical amorphisation. Amorphisation is associated with fluorescence switching, which is regulated by the polymorphic nature...
