Description
Summary:Organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) are multifunctional optoelectronic devices that combine in a single structure the advantages of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). However, low charge mobility and high threshold voltage are critical hurdles to practical OLET implementation. This work reports on the improvements obtained by using polyurethane films as a dielectric layer material in place of the standard poly­(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in OLET devices. It was found that polyurethane drastically reduces the number of traps in the device, thereby improving electrical and optoelectronic device parameters. In addition, a model was developed to rationalize an anomalous behavior at the pinch-off voltage. Our findings represent a step forward to overcome the limiting factors of OLETs that prevent their use in commercial electronics by providing a simple route for low-bias device operation.
