Research at the University of Washington regarding organic semiconductors is reviewed, covering four major topics: electro‐optics, organic light emitting diodes, organic field‐effect transistors, and organic solar cells. Underlying principles of materials design are demonstrated along with efforts toward unlocking the full potential of organic semiconductors. Finally, opinions on future research directions are presented, with a focus on commercial competency, environmental sustainability, and scalability of organic‐semiconductor‐based devices.
