Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), and organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have been widely used in recent decades. Owing to the flexibility and simple processing of organic materials, as well as of the low cost and simple fabrication processes, OLEDs have been recognized as one of the most successful full-color display technologies. For the same reason, OPVs are considered to be among the next-generation green energy technologies since the discovery of the photoelectronic properties of the organic active molecules. Further, because of the merits of the unique photo selectivity and sensitivity of organic compounds, OTFTs have attracted extensive research attention as photosensors and detectors.
Organic optoelectronics is an interdisciplinary research topic including organic chemistry/physics, electronic engineering, and materials science. However, large-scale production and commercialization are still challenged by material instability, low efficiency, and size- and flexibility-induced performance uncertainty. It is thus urgent to strengthen the properties of organic optoelectronics via novel interface engineering and device engineering, together with in-depth understanding of materials selection and device physicals. Here, we would like to invite researchers to provide insightful perspectives on recent advances in organic optoelectronics.

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. Micromachines 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.
