The fabrication and characteristics of organic smart pixels are descri
bed. The smart. pixel reported in this letter consists of a single org
anic thin-film field effect transistor (FET) monolithically integrated
with an organic light-emitting diode. The FET active material is a re
gioregular polythiophene. The maximum optical power emitted by the sma
rt pixel is about 300 nW/cm(2) corresponding to a luminance of similar
to 2300 cd/m(2). (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
