Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electroluminescence (EL) continues to attract growing attention as a key field of research that bridges fundamental science and real-world applications. Driven by innovations in materials design, device engineering, and processing strategies, EL technologies have achieved remarkable improvements in efficiency, stability, and spectral control. At the same time, new opportunities are emerging regarding displays, solid-state lighting, wearable devices, healthcare, bioimaging, security, and the Internet of Things (IoT), positioning EL as a vital component of next-generation optoelectronics.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which aims to showcase recent advances that push the boundaries of EL science and technology, while also fostering collaboration and inspiring future directions in the field. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel organic, inorganic, and hybrid EL materials;
- Device architectures, interface engineering, and process innovations;
- Stability improvement, scalable fabrication, and performance optimization;
- Emerging applications across displays, energy, healthcare, and security.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Hyocheol Jung
Guest Editor
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.
