The back cover illustrates the morphology and molecular packing of liquid‐crystalline C12‐Ph‐BTBT films with or without annealing at the SmX phase, as described by Y. He et al. in article number 1600179. After annealing, the structure of the thin films is transformed from a unilamellar to bilayer structure, which is similar to the structure of single crystal. Organic thin‐film transistors based on annealed thin films of C12‐Ph‐BTBT show high mobility.
