Popis: Highly photosensitive organic phototransistors (OPTs) are successfully demonstrated on a flexible substrate using all-solution process as well as a combination of printing methods which consist of roll-to-plate reverse offset printing (ROP), inkjet printing and bar coating. Excellent electrical switching characteristics are obtained from heterogeneous interfacial properties of the reverse-offset-printed silver nanoparticle electrode and the inkjet-printed p-channel polymeric semiconductor. In particular, the OPTs exhibit remarkably photosensitivity with a photo-to-dark current ratio exceeding 5 orders. This optoelectronic properties of the combinational printed OPTs are theoretically and experimentally studied, and found the comparable tendency. In addition, excellent mechanical stability is observed with up to 0.5% of strain applied to the OPTs. Hence, by manufactured with a combination of various graphic art printing methods such as roll-to-plate ROP, inkjet printing, and bar coating, these devices are very promising candidates for large-area and low-cost printed and flexible optoelectronics applications.
