Organic Light-Emitting Materials: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Outlook

Dear Colleagues,

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are reputed for their diverse use in the lighting and display industry. The main aim of this Special Issue is to unify the current status and to find out the future priority and route map in research and applications of light-emitting materials, their emission mechanism, such as fluorescence (F), phosphorescence (Ph), thermally delayed fluorescence (TADF), excimer, exciplex, and hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT). This Special Issue will also cover the import parameters for OLEDs, such as efficiency, lifetime, power consumption, flexibility of the device, and material strategy for developing efficient models for OLED application. This Special Issue will provide a stage and opportunity to spread the information about white light, yellow light, blue light, green light, red light, green-blue light and yellow-blue light OLEDs. We invite researchers, scientists and technocrats who are working on design strategies for material, flexible device fabrications, and the manufacturing of OLEDs for various applications to contribute their original research, reviews, and theoretical studies on “Organic Light-Emitting Materials: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Outlook”.

All the manuscripts received for this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and the decisions of acceptance or rejection will be based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
