The transient electroluminescence of monolayer and bilayer sexithiophe
ne-based diodes has been measured. The delay time of the luminescence
onset of the monolayer diode corresponds to a hole mobility of 5 x 10(
-6) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) which is considerably lower than that obtained by
field-effect measurements. This is interpreted in terms of strong tran
sient trapping. The bilayer diode presents a twofold time-resolved res
ponse which is attributed to the different mobility of its constituent
layers.
