Abstract

Organic light emitting transistors (OLETs), which are used in optoelectronic devices, have progressed in recent years. Electroluminescence is a characteristic of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and OLETs integrate OFET’s synchronising processes with the OLEDs. OLETs are ideal for creating the next generation of displays because of their distinctive look. OLETs, the upgraded form of OLEDs, are attracting attention these days because of its architecture, flexibility, light weight, and low cost. This review specifically looks at the process of developing high-efficiency OLETs considering different OLET structures and optimizations. In this paper, various properties, behavior characteristics, and performance parameters are taken into account. Besides this, we also present a comparison between OLEDs and OLETs. Additionally, OLET performance is examined in terms of drive current, mobility, ON–OFF current ratios, and external quantum efficiency for single and multilayer designs. It is the goal of this study to emphasise and build a better knowledge of the future design of OLETs by analysing the existing state of the art.
