Abstract

Organic electronics is attracting a lot of attention for large-area pervasive electronics applications, because organic transistors can be fabricated using printing technologies on arbitrary substrates and this enables both high-throughput and low-cost production. In this chapter, some examples of large area electronics based on organic transistors including an EMI measurement sheet, a wireless power transmission sheet, and a communication sheet are presented. Challenges for future large area electronics are also described.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In other sections of this book OFETs are also called OTFTs.

  2. 2.

    It should be noticed that the performance of organic transistors develops quickly: complementary inverters with a stage delay of 1μs, employing transistor with L=4μm together with p and n materials having a mobility close to 1cm2/Vs have been demonstrated recently [22]. This kind of result, which does not exploit printing techniques but lithography and evaporation, can be considered close to the maximum performance that organic semiconductors can intrinsically offer.

  3. 3.
