Organic semiconductor molecules underpin the light-emitting diodes used in high-performance smartphone and television displays. Richard Friend traces the path from early discoveries to practical OLED technology and examines a wider range of applications, including solar cells, printable electronics and biological interfaces. He then discusses emerging phenomena in these materials and current work on their use as quantum sensors that can be accessed optically.
