Abstract
An organic electronic device of the present invention includes a substrate, at least two electrodes formed on the substrate, a conductive organic thin film that is formed on the substrate and electrically connects the electrodes, and a coating film for coating at least a portion of the electrodes. The conductive organic thin film is a polymer of organic molecules containing a conjugated-bondable group, and one end of each of the organic molecules is chemically bonded to the surface of the substrate and the conjugated-bondable groups in the organic molecules are polymerized with other conjugated-bondable groups to form a conjugated bond chain. The coating film electrically connects the electrodes to the conductive organic thin film and achieves a smaller connection resistance than that in the case where the electrodes and the conductive organic thin film are connected directly. As the coating film, a film made of metal selected from gold, platinum, and silver, a conductive polymeric film, or a monomolecular film that is chemically bonded to the electrodes can be used.
