         18 . A method of using the silicon molecular components of a luminescent medium to control charge migration and light emission within an electroluminescent device, said method comprising: 
 coupling an organic luminescent medium adjacent to an anode, said medium having a plurality of silicon molecular components and a predetermined spatial distribution of said components therein, said medium coupled to said anode with silicon-oxygen bonds;    providing said medium adjacent said anode at least one of a hole injection zone and a hole transport zone; and    migrating positive charge carriers through said medium for missive interaction with negative charge carriers generated by said device.    
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein said hole transport zone includes a plurality of molecular components, each said component having at least two silicon moieties reactive with said anode to form silicon-oxygen bonds between said anode and said hole transport zone.  
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18  wherein said luminescent medium is modified by a patter of silane molecular components on said anode.  
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20  wherein said pattern defines exposed surface areas of said anode.  
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21  wherein said pattern provides a pixel array.
