Abstract

We demonstrate a novel selective patterning process of a semiconducting polymer for channel regions to fabricate an array of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). This process is applicable for various organic films over large area. A reflective liquid crystal display based on the OTFT array was produced using the selective patterning through a wettability control.
