Abstract

Large-area alignment and patterning of small-molecule organic semiconductor micro-/nanocrystals (SMOSNs) at desired locations is a prerequisite for their practical device applications. Recent strategies for alignment and patterning of ordered SMOSNs and their corresponding device applications are highlighted.

Keywords: alignment and patterning; microcrystals; nanocrystals; organic semiconductors; small-molecule organic semiconductor micro-/nanocrystals.
