Organic Photodetectors, Displays, and Upconverters

Dear Colleagues,

Organic optoelectronic materials offer unprecedented opportunities for the development of devices with functionalities such as detection, light emission, and upconversion due to their fascinating advantages, which include their low cost, lightweight, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility. Over the past few decades, organic photodetectors, electroluminescence displays, and upconverters have garnered significant attention; in addition, notable advancements in both the properties of organic semiconductor materials and device architecture engineering have been witnessed. It is undoubted that comprehensive reviews of previous studies and further innovative optimizations of organic optoelectronics are critical for scientific research and societal progress, encompassing diverse applications in areas such as biology, defense safety, space science, wearable electronics, and smart cities.

This Special Issue aims to gather summaries of recent and noteworthy studies and track the latest research in the rapidly evolving field of organic optoelectronics. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the synthesis and modification of organic semiconductor materials, the analysis and exploration of operational mechanisms, and the optimization and design of devices for applications such as detectors, light-emitting diodes, and upconverters. Contributions to this Special Issue can take the form of original research articles or comprehensive reviews that highlight breakthroughs in fundamental scientific research and technological advancements for industrial applications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
