An organic thin film transistor that prevents the surface of an organic
semiconductor layer from being damaged and reduces turn-off current, a
method of fabricating the same, and an organic light-emitting device
incorporating the organic thin film transistor. The organic thin film
transistor includes a substrate, source and drain electrodes arranged on
the substrate, a semiconductor layer contacting the source and drain
electrodes and comprising a channel region, a protective film arranged on
the semiconductor layer and having a same pattern as the semiconductor
layer, the protective film comprising a laser-absorbing material, a gate
insulating film arranged between the gate and the source and drain
electrodes, a gate electrode arranged on the gate insulating film and a
separation pattern arranged within the semiconductor layer and within the
protective film, the separation pattern adapted to define the channel
region of the semiconductor layer.
