1. In an electronic organic component, the combination comprising:
- a substrate of the electronic organic component; and
an organic functional layer coated on the substrate;
wherein said substrate comprises a biaxially stretched (well-ordered) plastic film such that the orderliness of the plastic film forms the applied functional layer into a well-ordered layer to thereby improve electrical properties of the component.

Abstract
An organic field effect transistor includes a well-ordered substrate layer on which organic functional material is deposited. A method of increasing the charge carrier mobility of the organic field effect transistor substrate layer is achieved by depositing onto the substrate an organic functional material, the substrate being in the form of a well-ordered layer. The method and transistor include using a well-ordered plastics film as the substrate layer.
