ALL-PRINTED FLEXIBLE ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTORS: CURRENT STATUS AND OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE

Printed organic electronics is promising for realizing low-cost flexible displays and RFID tags. We describe the state of the art in printed organic electronics, focusing on advanced materials currently being studied to realize devices with enhanced performance, including soluble oligomer semiconductor precursors, printable self-assembled monolayer dielectrics, and printable high-K dielectric precursors. These materials should enable the realization of devices with low operating voltages and carrier mobilities sufficiently high for the demonstration of high-quality displays and RFID tags on plastic.
