Organic electronic device with a monomolecular layer or multi-monomolecular layer having electroconductive conjugated bonds
First Claim
1. An organic electronic device characterized by comprising a monomolecular or built-up multi-monomolecular layer having an insulating layer and an electroconductive group containing conjugated bonds disposed between a first electrode and both a second and a third electrode formed on a substrate, said conjugated bonds connecting the second and third electrodes, said device being operated by applying a voltage between said first electrode and said second electrode or said third electrode as well as between said second electrode and said third electrode, varying the voltage between said first electrode and said second electrode of said third electrode to control the electroconductivity of said electroconductive conjugated bonds via said insulating layer, whereby an electric current flowing across said electroconductive conjugated bonds between said second electrode and said third electrode is controlled.
