Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been continuously developed over past three decades, with academic and industrial sectors focusing on exploring the advancement of materials as well as manufacturing processes associated with OLED technology. Thanks to these efforts, OLEDs currently have extensive applications in the realms of smartphone screens, television displays, automotive interfaces, wristwatches, and even lighting panels. However, there are still some gaps to fill with premium OLED technologies in terms of AR/VR displays and/or solid lighting applications. Hence, we are launching a Special Issue to gather significant contributions from OLED experts or researchers. Original manuscripts (full length or reviews) may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel OLED materials (TADF, HLCT, MR-emitters, etc.);
- Novel OLED devices (tandem OLEDs, PIN OLEDs, hyperfluorescence OLEDs, transparent OLEDs, and TTAUC OLEDs);
- OLED light extraction technology;
- Approaches for elongating OLEDs’ operational lifetime.
In general, the scope of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest results of experimental and theoretical investigations on potential organic materials, devices, optics and lifetime, but extension to organic/inorganic hybrid ones, such as quantum dots or perovskite families, is also 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. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
