In this paper we demonstrated the applications of OTFTs (organic thin film transistors) to flexible displays such as AM-EPD (active matrix electrophoretic display) and AM-OLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode), and also to integrated circuits. The OTFTs using pentacene semiconductor layer and PVP gate dielectric and Au S/D electrodes exhibited good performance for AM-EPD with the mobility of $0.59\;cm^{2}/V.sec,$ and with also good uniformity over 2.5" diagonal area. However, it is nor enough for AM-OLED requiring the mobility larger than $1\;cm^{2}/V.sec$ for large area displays. The integrated circuits also worked, producing the operating frequency of 1MHz. We need to develop a fabrication process to reduce parasitic capacitance for high frequency operation.

Large-size, organic light-emitting device (OLED) panels based on highly reliable gate driver circuits integrated using InGaZnO thin film transistors (TFTs) were developed to achieve ultra-high resolution TVs. These large-size OLED panels were driven by using a novel gate driver circuit not only for displaying images but also for sensing TFT characteristics for external compensation. Regardless of the negative threshold voltage of the TFTs, the proposed gate driver circuit in OLED panels functioned precisely, resulting from a decrease in the leakage current. The falling time of the circuit is approximately 0.9 ㎲, which is fast enough to drive 8K resolution OLED displays at 120 Hz. 120 Hz is most commonly used as the operating voltage because images consisting of 120 frames per second can be quickly shown on the display panel without any image sticking. The reliability tests showed that the lifetime of the proposed integrated gate driver is at least 100,000 h.

The integrated circuits such as inverters, ring oscillators, NAND and NOR gates, and rectifiers were fabricated on PEN substrate by using pentacene TFTs. The OTFTs used bottom contact structure and produced the average mobility of $0.26\;cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. All circuits worked successfully like the simulation results. Especially, the rectifier was able to operate up to 1 MHz input signals, and ring oscillator exhibited oscillation frequency of 1MHz at-40V.

In this paper, we studied on the application of Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs) to the active matrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLED). We designed organic transistor based pixel circuits for AMOLED. The pixel circuit is consisted of two-transistor, one-capacitor and one-OLED. We report the simulation results of the pixel circuits that OLED current varied as the data line and scan line voltage. Also, we will describe the fabrication process of the Pentacene OTFTs arrays and the organic light emitting diodes. The driving results of the fabricated unit pixels and their 4x4 arrays are also presented.

In this paper, we have fabricated pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) using polyvinylphenol (PVP) copolymer and cross-linked PVP as gate insulator on glass and plastic (PET) substrate. Depending on the density of PVP and cross-link material the performance has been changed. We obtained the best device performance with the mobility of 0.32cm2/V${\cdot}$sec and the on/off current ratio of 1.19${\times}$106 for the case of 10wt% PVP copolymer mixed with 5wt% poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde). Additionally using pentacene TFTs with the above PVP gate insulator, we fabricated the integrated circuits including inverter which produced the gain of 9.7.

Organic light emitting transistors (OLET) which are vertically combined with the organic static induction transistor (OSIT) and organic light emitting diode (OLED) are fabricated and the device characteristics are investigated. High luminance modulations by relatively low gate voltages are obtained. In order to realize the flexible electronic circuits and displays, we have fabricated OSIT on plastic substrates. The OSIT fabricated on plastic substrate show almost same characteristics comparing with those of nonflexible OSIT on glass substrate. The OLET described here is a suitable element for flexible sheet displays.

Organic field effect transistors are excellent candidates for addressing and local amplification elements for large area electronics because they can easily be processed at low temperatures on essentially arbitrary substrates. We present the use of these devices in an active matrix photodetector and as a buffer for a strain sensor.

본 연구에서는 하부전극 구조 펜타센 유기박막트랜지스터를 이용하여 플라스틱 기판에 인버터, 링 발진기, NAND & NOR 논리게이트, 정류기 등 간단한 집적회로를 제작하고 그 특성을 관찰하였다. 제작된 유기박막트랜지스터 소자의 평균 전하이동도는 0.26 $cm^2/V.sec$, 전류점멸비는 $10^5$로 나타났으며 인버터와 NAND, NOR 논리게이트는 입력에 대해 정확한 논리출력값을 출력하였다. 전파 정류기는 1MHz의 AC 입력신호에 대해 정류효과를 나타냈으며 링 발진기는 DC 40V에서 1MHz의 발진특성을 보였다. 이와 같이 유기박막트랜지스터를 이용한 집적회로를 제작하고 특성을 분석함으로써 현재 관심이 되고 있는 초저가 RFID tag, Flexible Display 구동회로 등에 유기박막트랜지스터를 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

The manufacture of organic electronic circuits requires effective heterogeneous integration of different nanoscale organic materials with uniform morphology and crystallinity in a desired arrangement on a substrate. Herein, we present a new direct printing method, which enables monolithic integration of crystalline nanowire arrays with a diverse range of organic materials. In this method, we use a nanoscale patterned soft mold, which contains an assembly of simple nanoline patterns but, in combination with droplet of various organic inks, can produce a large-scale integration of various nanopatterns with multiple kinds of organic materials. The morphology of organic nanowires can controlled by nanoconfinement in nanoline of mold. And mutual alignment of nanopatterns can be controlled by adjusting the ink droplet size, number of droplets, ink deposition locations.

Herein, we report the manufacture of high-performance, ambipolar organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and complementary-like electronic circuitry based on a blended, polymeric, semiconducting film. Relatively high and well-balanced electron and hole mobilities were achieved by incorporating a small amount of ionic additives. The equivalent P-channel and N-channel properties of the ambipolar OFETs enabled the manufacture of complementary-like inverter circuits with a near-ideal switching point, high gain, and good noise margins, via a simple blanket spin-coating process with no additional patterning of each active P-type and N-type semiconductor layer.
