Recent Insights into Organic Light Emitting Materials and Devices
This special issue belongs to the section “Optical and Photonic Materials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become a cutting-edge technology for full-color displays and solid-state lightings by virtue of their superior features, including a high color quality, wide viewing angle, heavy-metal-free manufacture and superior contrast ratio, among others. Recently, extensive research efforts have been devoted to developing novel materials (lighting-emitting materials, charge injection/transport materials, host materials, etc.), new device architectures, as well as innovative processing techniques to improve device performances in order to meet the requirements of advanced display and lighting applications.
This Special Issue aims to attend to recent progress and new advances in organic electroluminescence materials and devices. The submission of original research articles and reviews on any aspect of OLEDs is encouraged. The topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- thermally activated delayed fluorescence;
- hot exciton materials;
- multiple resonance;
- triplet–triplet annihilation;
- phosphorescence;
- aggregation induced emission (AIE)
- charge transport material;
- organic light-emitting transistors;
- narrowband electroluminescence;
- white OLED;
- molecular orientation;
- flexible displays and lightings.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Materials 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 2600 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.
