Organic thin film transistors and electronics are of interest for low cost high information content displays
especially on flexible substrates
and for other large area electronic applications. Ambipolar field-effect transistors
which operate as either n or p-channel devices
depending on the polarity of the gate bias
can operate in a mixed or bipolar mode. They have been realized with amorphous silicon
organic semiconductor heterostructures
and organic single crystal. We report here on the structure and operating characteristics of an ambipolar organic light emitting field-effect transistor based on single crystal of the pentacene. The electrons and holes are injected equally from the source and drain respectively and the drain current can be controlled by the adjusting gate and drain source voltages. Excitons are generated
leading to radiative recombination. We grown the single crystal thin film based on pentacene by physical vapor deposition and fabricated organic field-effect transistor using it. The thickness of the film is about some few micrometer and the length is about some few millimeter. The proportion between the length and thickness is about 1000. Using polyimide as bond organic thin film was tiled on the glass substrate. By magnetic controlled sputtering method

characteristics and discuss luminescence principle about organic field-effect transistors. The most important two factors of the success are the use of organic single crystal with high mobility and the employ of the field-effect structure to control injection for the ambipolar organic light emitting field-effect transistor.
