M = Tb, Lu) into organic thin-film transistors by LB technique and reported their field effect mobility, which represented the first report for p-type OFETs based on bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth complexes prepared via LB method [88], Due to the highly ordered molecular arrangement of M(Pc)[Pc(OC8Hi7)g] (M = Tb, Lu) in LB films and the appropriate HOMO energy level of these double-deckers relative to the Au source-drain electrodes, the OFETs reported in that work exhibited higher hole transfer mobility of 1.7 x 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 in comparison with those fabricated from monomeric phthalocyanine LB films. 

Kawase et al. [17] fabricated All-polymer thin film transistors by inkjet printing technique. They used these transistors as active-matrix backplane for information displays. This field has been dominated by amorphous Si TFTs and large liquid crystal displays with an amorphous Si TFT active matrix backplane have been manufactured at a reasonable cost. An organic TFT is expected to reduce the cost even more, and to be applied to flexible displays based on a plastic substrate. The TFT characteristics required for active-matrix displays are (1) sufficient drain cmrent, (2) low off current, (3) low gate leakage current through an insulator, (4) small gate overlap capacitance and (5) uniform characteristics.
