The creation of photonic structures in thin polymer films is reported. This involves replicating a micrometer‐sized pattern onto a (poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonic acid) PEDOT:PSS surface (see Figure) with conjugated polymers without compromising the efficiencies of the devices. The technique can be extended to flexible substrates, and in principle to conjugated polymer blends.
