Light manipulation is becoming a general strategy for further enhancing the performance of organic photovoltaic cells. In article 1600123, various light trapping schemes are reviewed from the viewpoint of plasmonic and photonic resonances, addressing the external antireflection coatings, substrate geometry‐induced trapping, the role of electrode design in optical enhancement, as well as optically modifying charge extraction and photoactive layers by Jian‐Xin Tang and co‐workers.
