- Abstract
Transient photoluminescence (PL) decay imaging is conducted for visualizing carrier transport in luminescent polymer semiconductor thin films. The method is simple, but enables a real‐time observation of carrier motion on the scale of several millimeters in luminescent thin films. Decrease in the PL intensity of the channel region in organic field‐effect transistor (OFET) is observed in accordance with the device operation. Upon application of pulse voltages to the source electrode for carrier injection, the transient PL decay motion is visualized using a conventional charge‐coupled device (CCD) camera. By analyzing the PL decay motion, hole and electron mobilities of poly(9,9‐di‐n‐octylfluorene‐alt‐benzothiadiazole) (F8BT) thin film are evaluated as 1.3 × 10−4 cm2 (V s)−1 and 3.2 × 10−5 cm2 (V s)−1, respectively. Mobility anisotropy is also visualized by using round‐shaped electrode as the source electrode, and the difference of mobility anisotropy for hole and electron of F8BT is clearly identified.
