Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past several decades, the field of organic semiconductors has grown to become a large research area. The possibility of tailoring material properties via careful molecular design has attracted strong interest in the research community. This has led to the development of devices such as organic light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic solar cells and transistors. Some of these have emerged as viable alternatives to their inorganic counterparts for commercial applications, as in the case of AMOLED displays. Other application fields are still limited to the research stage, but are rapidly evolving and bringing promising results. An eminent example is the area of organic bioelectronics, where biosensors, biocompatible implantable electrodes and neuromorphic devices have demonstrated great success in the last decade. The additive manufacturing of organic semiconductors is also a growing research field, pushed by the concomitant development of 3D-printing technologies.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to cover some of the new research on organic semiconductors, concerning the design of the devices and the development of novel applications, along with advances in material processing. This Special Issue provides a chance to capture the latest advances, propose new exciting challenges, and disseminate innovative studies and breakthrough discoveries on organic semiconductor devices.
The final goal of this Special Issue is to become an outstanding reference for the latest progress in organic semiconductor devices and applications for all the researchers working in this field.

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 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. Electronics 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 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.
