Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical Displays aims to provide a premier interdisciplinary platform for showing cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews in the rapidly evolving field of optical display technology. We seek to bridge the gap between fundamental material innovation, device engineering and full-system integration, fostering dialogue that accelerates the development of next-generation displays for applications ranging from consumer electronics to healthcare and beyond.
This Special Issue on ‘Optical Displays: Materials, Devices and Systems’ will welcome contributions covering the entire spectrum of display technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel luminescent materials (e.g., Quantum Dots, perovskites, OLED/QLED emitters, phosphors, fluorescent carbon dots).
- Advanced liquid crystals (e.g., blue-phase, ferroelectric and liquid crystal-based devices) and electro-optic materials.
- Emerging display concepts (Micro-LED, AR/VR near-eye displays, holographic displays, flexible and transparent displays).
- Device physics, fabrication processes and performance optimization (efficiency, longevity, colour gamut).
- System integration, driving schemes, human-factor engineering and novel applications.
We invite researchers, engineers and industry leaders to submit original work and join us in shaping the future of visual technology. Share your insights and be a part of this dynamic discourse.

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. 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.
