The inside cover shows an optical micrograph picture of an organic light‐emitting diode with patterned, micro‐contact‐printed self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) that modify the work function of the anode, reported by Simon Mathijssen, Dago de Leeuw, and co‐workers on p. 2703 . In this particular light‐emitting diode a fluorinated alkanethiol has been used that increases the work function and therefore improves the injection of holes. This results in a higher light emission on the positions where the SAM has been printed, which can be observed as the red pattern.
