Large‐area, flexible, lateral organic solar cells are demonstrated for the first time. In article number 1401317, Kilwon Cho and co‐workers demonstrate that the incorporation of 1D organic semiconductor nanowires in the photoactive layer achieves efficient charge sweep‐out to asymmetric electrodes in lateral solar cells. An interdigitated solar module to amplify power generation can be fabricated on a plastic substrate and mechanically deformed without loss of performance.
