Here, we demonstrate visible-light-only photoprogramming of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) by integrating an all-organic triplet-sensitized diarylethene system into the channel layer. Rather than redesigning the photoswitch, this modular additive strategy renders a conventional UV-responsive diarylethene visible-addressable in solid-state transistors. A ternary blend of a polymer semiconductor (DPP-DTT), a diarylethene photoswitch (DAE-HP), and an organic triplet sensitizer (4CzIPN) enables fully reversible current modulation via photocyclization at 450 nm and photocycloreversion at 520 nm. The devices achieve a switching ratio up to 2.8 × 10<sup>3</sup> and remain stable over 100 cycles. Mechanistic studies show that DAE-HP and 4CzIPN co-localize within amorphous domains without perturbing polymer crystallinity, maintaining charge-transport continuity while ensuring the short-range proximity required for triplet exchange. Transient absorption spectroscopy supports efficient triplet–triplet energy transfer (TTET) from 4CzIPN to DAE-HP as the driver of visible-light photoswitching.

Silicon (Si) has attracted particular interest as a biointerface material due to its high stimulation efficiency, biocompatibility, controllable biodegradability, and compatibility with flexible device architectures. This review provides a comprehensive overview of flexible Si-based photoelectric systems, including recent advances in material design and fabrication, as well as the fundamental mechanisms governing device/tissue interactions, with an emphasis on interfacial electrical processes that regulate biological responses.
