The inside cover shows a flexible, large‐area, position‐sensitive organic photodetector used as an input device for a desktop computer. R. Koeppe et al. show the assembly of such a device with a photodiode based on a blend of Zn‐phthalocyanine and C 60 with low conductivity electrodes on p. 3510 . The current drop across the electrodes easily allows for the calculation of the position of a localized light signal impinging on the position‐sensitive photodetector. By adding an additional elastomer layer with embedded LEDs, the device can also be used as flexible touchpad.
