Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A substrate having a thin film transistor includes a buffer layer on a substrate, source and drain electrodes on the buffer layer, a portion of the buffer layer exposed between the source and drain electrodes, a small organic semiconductor layer on the source electrode and the drain electrode, the organic semiconductor layer contacting the exposed portion of the buffer layer, a gate insulating layer on the organic semiconductor layer, the gate insulating layer having substantially the same size as the organic semiconductor layer, a gate electrode on the gate insulating layer, a passivation layer over the surface of the substrate including the gate electrode; and a pixel electrode on the passivation layer, the pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A thin film transistor, comprising: source and drain electrodes on a substrate; a small molecule organic semiconductor layer on the source and drain electrodes; a gate insulating layer on the small molecule organic semiconductor layer and covering a top surface and lateral surfaces of the small molecule organic semiconductor layer; and a gate electrode on the gate insulating layer, wherein a portion of the drain electrode is exposed by the small mole…
