This presentation will begin with a description of the basic physics of typical organic and polymer transistors and the factors which determine and influence the apparent mobility. The transient characteristics organic transistors with sub-microsecond switching speeds will be described. The integration of organic light emitting diodes and transistors is promising for emissive displays. We have developed designs for ‘smart’ pixels in which an analog circuit consisting of 6-7 transistors drives each LED. The simulated and experimental characteristics of such pixels will be presented. The development of air-stable n-channel organic transistors led to our demonstrating the first organic complementary circuits. The design considerations and characteristics of organic complementary circuits with > 100 transistors will be described. The noise properties of organic transistors and their use in gas sensors will be described.
