Particular attention has been focused on n‐channel organic thin‐film transistors (OTFTs) during the last few years, and the potentially cost‐effective circuitry‐based applications in flexible electronics, such as flexible radiofrequency identity tags, smart labels, and simple displays, will benefit from this fast development. This article reviews recent progress in performance and molecular design of n‐channel semiconductors in the past five years, and limitations and practicable solutions for n‐channel OTFTs are dealt with from the viewpoint of OTFT constitution and geometry, molecular design, and thin‐film growth conditions. Strategy methodology is especially highlighted with an aim to investigate basic issues in this field.
