Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor technologies that drive electronic appliances and devices, such as computers, tablets, TV displays, and cell phones, have been evolving rapidly. The pursuit of lightweight, thinner, high-image-resolution, energy-saving displays and devices has encouraged scientists around the world to find new materials and combinations. In this respect, organic semiconductors have been extensively studied in the last two decades due to their low processing requirements, versatility, flexibility, and environmentally friendly characteristics.
Over the last decade, there has been a tremendously growing effort aimed at integrating organic materials into electronic devices, such as organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells (OSCs), sensors, etc.
Today, OLED displays can be found everywhere, for example, in smartphones, TVs, smartwatches, monitors, cars, or digital cameras. However, as technology advances, the need for better OLED materials that help to improve the energy efficiency and resolution of OLED displays is growing. Academic research has demonstrated many improvements regarding the efficiency of blue, red, and green OLEDs using phosphorescent or thermally activated delayed (TADF) materials.
We invite colleagues whose work is primarily interdisciplinary and focused on materials and phenomena related to organic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, thin-film transistors, photovoltaic cells, etc., to contribute to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
