Organic electrochemical light emitting field effect transistors

We report on the demonstration of an organic electrochemical light emitting field effect transistor. The device fabricated in bottom gate/bottom contact geometry using a conjugated polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MDMO-PPV) mixed with polymer electrolyte poly(ethylene oxide) including lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Li triflate) as active layer and poly(vinyl alcohol) as gate dielectric. Orange-yellow light emission is observed from the device. The output characteristics (source-drain current versus the source-drain voltage) and transfer characteristics (source-drain current versus the gate voltage) of the device are reported.
