The state-of-art of PhotOFETs

Organic semiconductors have been extensively used in photoelectronics because of its advantages of lightweight, low-cost and compatibility with flexible substrate. Photoresponsive organic field-effect transistors (PhotOFETs), based on photoinduced effect, can amplify photo-generated current by its transconductance. With their wide applications, PhotOFETs have recently been demonstrated as a kind of promising devices in full organic displays and organic photodetectors fabrication. The configuration, the basic theory and the latest developments of PhotOFETs are introduced and PhotOFETs are believed to show excellent characteristics in electrical displays and organic sensors in near future.
