Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), benefiting from a low-temperature process (≤120 °C), offer a promising approach for the monolithic integration of MicroLED structures through organic-last integration. Previous research has demonstrated that small-molecule/polymer binder-based organic semiconductor deposition, utilizing the vertical phase separation mechanism, can achieve good device uniformity while preserving high field-effect carrier mobility. However, the stability of OTFTs under light exposure at the device level remains underexplored. This study investigates the effects of various light irradiation conditions on OTFTs and delves into the underlying mechanisms of the light-trapping effect. Based on these findings, we propose an optimal OTFT design tailored for driving MicroLED displays at high operational brightness, ensuring both performance and stability.
