Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted much attention due to their huge potential in display and lighting applications. Despite their recent progress, OLEDs are still dealing with the issues of efficient and balanced carrier injection and transportation because of large difference of barrier heights and low carrier mobility. To improve the efficiency of devices, our main tasks are synthesis, purification, structure characterization, and investigation of film-forming and optoelectronic properties of new electroactive materials. Characterization of different layers materials in devices and formation, characterization, and optimization of OLED devices are necessary to discover the most effective materials and create the most efficient prototypes of devices.
Organic light-emitting diode-based technologies offer advantages in terms of brightness, viewing angle, production cost, opportunity for flexible displays, etc. OLED-based devices, for example, smartphones and televisions, have been already commercialized. OLED-based displays already generate hundreds of millions of dollars. With this technology fully utilized in displays and commercial lighting applications, about 15% of global energy consumption can be saved.
Further advances in these devices substantially rely on the development and study of high-performance organic charge-transport and emitting materials, theoretical understanding of charge and energy transport in the organic systems, and their well-balanced application in OLED devices.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- New electroactive materials for OLEDs;
- OLED devices;
- electroactive compounds;
- TADF emitters;
- Hole transport;
- Phosphorescent emitters;
- Lighting technology.

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. Coatings 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 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.
