Single-component organic photodetectors (OPDs) provide a simplified alternative to donor-acceptor heterojunctions, yet their operation mechanisms remain theoretically underexplored. We investigate the molecular origin of charge generation in vapor-deposited DCV2-5T by modeling the excitonic density of states with an effective exciton Hamiltonian that incorporates electronic coupling, Coulomb interaction, and structural disorder. Disorder is introduced through lateral shifts between π-stacked molecules, which notably modulates electronic and excitonic couplings. Simulations show that intermediate disorder reproduces the experimental external quantum efficiency, while strong disorder enhances hybridization between excitonic states. This hybridization enables exciton delocalization via a superexchange-like mechanism, increasing the probability of charge separation. Counterintuitively, disordered domains exhibit stronger coupling than crystalline ones, suggesting that reduced structural order can facilitate charge generation. These insights highlight morphology-dependent excitonic interactions as a design principle for self-driven OPDs.
