High Performance Organic Semiconductors with High Field-Effect Mobilities and Low Contact Resistances for Flexible Displays

We have succeeded in developing high-performance ptype of organic semiconductors with phenylethynyl groups, which have high filed-effect mobilities (> 3 cm2V−1s−1) by improving molecular planarity. A single crystal of the organic semiconductors has a herringbone structure. It plays an important role for carrier transport. In addition, we found that they had lower contact resistances to Au electrodes as well. Then, we used the materials for the carrier injection layer deposited onto another organic semiconductor we developed recently, which achieved a high field-effect mobility, and a low threshold voltage (Vth). key words: organic semiconductor, OTFT, herringbone structure, contact resistance
