Abstract
A novel light-emitting device includes an organic thin-film structure that is merged with an organic light-emitting diode structure by utilizing a part of the electron accumulation layer in the organic thin-film transistor as a common electrode for each structure. The organic thin-film structure and the organic light-emitting diode structure each include an organic semiconductor that comprises a material in which hole mobility is greater in a bulk region of the material than electron mobility in the bulk region. The advantages of such a light-emitting device include less complex processing and a simpler pixel circuit structure in comparison to separately fabricating OTFT and OLED structures and subsequently interconnecting them to form a pixel. Furthermore, relative to a light-emitting transistor, some embodiments offer the advantage of a broader light emission area more suitable for use in display devices.
