Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites manuscripts documenting recent advances in “Thin Film Transistor and Its Optoelectronic Applications”.
Thin-film transistors (TFTs) have gained an increasing amount of research attention for optoelectronics, since their three-terminal-modulated photon-to-charge conversion is more controllable than the two-terminal-modulated one in diodes, and the fact that their optoelectronic devices have good manufacture compatibility when they are integrated with transistor circuits.
Over the past few decades, numerous TFT optoelectronic devices have been developed, such as light-emitting transistors, photodetecting transistors, photomemristor transistors and photosynaptic transistors, and more device innovations are likely to emerge by bridging electronics and photonics in TFT configurations. Considerable research efforts have contributed greatly to the improvements in device performance, enhancing these TFT optoelectronic devices’ promise as candidates for practical optoelectronic systems.
We welcome research and review papers covering topics including, but not limited to:
- Innovation in the field of TFT optoelectronic devices;
- Material science, device structure engineering and interface science for performance optimization;
- Technologies for patterning, integration and low-cost manufacturing;
- Device mechanical robustness and improved capability to work in harsh environments;
- Investigation of physics of photon-to-charge conversion and charge transport;
- Compact modeling and simulation of device operation;
- Critical assessment of device performance;
- Design of circuits and systems.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. 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.
