Organic electronic circuit

Abstract

A multi-layer film body comprises a plastic substrate strip conveyed in a first direction in a roll-to-roll process for printing electronic organic components on the substrate. A first electrically conducting layer is on the substrate, a semiconductor layer is on the first layer, an insulator layer is on the semiconductor layer and a second electrically conducting layer is on the insulator layer, the layers comprising a first interconnection assembly portion and a second electronic assembly portion successively positioned in the first direction, each portion comprising a central zone and a respective conductor tract input zone and conductor tract output zone bordering the respective central zones, the input, central and output zones of each portion each comprising parallel conductor tracts in the first conducting layer. Electrical connectors in the second conducting layer interconnect selected ones of the conductor tracts in the two portions. Regions of the semiconductor and insulating layers in the second portion are juxtaposed with electrodes formed from the first and second conducting layers in the central zone, forming organic electronic components comprising one or more of transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors. The conductive tracts of the input zone of the first portion and the conductive tracts of the output zone of the second portion form the component inputs and outputs.
