AbstractIt is generally believed that the photoresponse behavior of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) reflects the intrinsic property of organic semiconductors. However, this photoresponse hinders the application of OFETs in transparent displays as driven circuits due to the current instability resulting from the threshold voltage shift under light illumination. It is necessary to relieve the photosensitivity of OFETs to keep the devices stable. 2,6‐diphenyl anthracene thin‐film and single‐crystal OFETs are fabricated on different substrates, and it is found that the degree of molecular order in the conducting channels and the defects at the dielectric/semiconductor interface play important roles in determining the phototransistor performance. When highly ordered single‐crystal OFETs are fabricated on polymeric substrates with low defects, the photosensitivity (P) decreases by more than 105 times and the threshold voltage shift (ΔVT) is almost eliminated compared with the corresponding thin‐film OFETs. This phenomenon is further verified by using another three organic semiconductors for similar characterizations. The decreased P and ΔVT of OFETs ensure a good current stability for OFETs to drive organic light‐emitting diodes efficiently, which is essential to the application of OFETs in flexible and transparent displays.
