	For a theoretical exploration of mobility we will assume that we are dealing with a single perfect crystalline such as rubrene. But also recognize that many crystalline materials include areas that more amorphous, may have variations in grain sizes, impurities etc. Amorphous materials are easier to process for example by inkjet printing or spin coating. These disordered systems are much harder to describe.		For a theoretical exploration of mobility we will assume that we are dealing with a single perfect crystalline such as rubrene.

	A polyphenylvinylene (PPV) that has been oxidized because of the presence of water or oxygen will cause electrons to be trapped in carbonene functionalities, so mobility will be impaired because of defects and impurities. Its difficulty to characterize impurities, sometimes referred to '''traps'''; shallow traps occur if the energy that is needed to detrap the carrier is smaller than ~~K<sub>t</sub>~~, or deep traps occur if the energy required to detrap the carrier is significantly larger than ~~K<sub>t</sub>~~. Purification is essential to improve performance of devices based on organic semiconductors.

	For organic semiconductors to be competitive with amorphous silicon they must approach μ of 1 cm<sup>2</sup>/Vs. 1 cm<sup>2</sup>/Vs is also a borderline value between the transport '''band regime''' and the '''hopping regime'''. These are the two modes of charge transfer. If the mobility is significantly lower than one it is in the hopping regime, if it is significantly higher it is the band regime.

These are the two modes of charge transfer. If the mobility is significantly lower than one it is in the hopping regime, if it is significantly higher it is the band regime.

			=== Electronic Coupling ===
	In both the band regime and the hopping regime it is necessary to maximize the '''electronic coupling''' between adjacent units, molecules or polymer segments, in order to maximize the charge mobility. Electronic coupling is the mobility defining factor in band regimes, and one of several defining factors in the hopping regime. Geometry relaxation in molecules or chain segments takes over as dominant charge transfer process as they enter the hopping regime. Marcus theory is able to begin to explain transport properties but one must go beyond that for a full explanation of transport.

			Transport in organic semiconductors refers to how charges move through a material with the application of an electric field. Transport can refer to the migration of [[exciton]]s along chains or between chains. It involves the process of energy transfer from one chain to another. In this section we will be concerned with '''charge carriers''', '''electrons''' and '''holes'''.

	The performance of any organic device depends on the mobility of the charge carriers. For example, if the charge applied to an OLED remains stuck next to the electrodes for a long time this will not lead a internal current that is transformed into the emission of photons.
