Organic electronics (a cross point of organic chemistry, condensed matter physics, materials science, and device physics) [1, 2] has made remarkable technological breakthroughs for the last decade, enabling the realization of viable devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) [3, 4], organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) [5], organic solar cells [6] as well as memory circuits [7, 8]. Some products such as medium resolution emissive OLED displays [9, 10] are already commercially available and others are now in various stages of commercialization. On the other hand, nanoscale technology has clear advantages to be gained from exploiting self-organized growth, as it avoids the need for highly sophisticated patterning of surfaces with nanometersize objects. Ideally, in organic applications the functional properties can be obtained essentially in one self-assembled molecular layer, so that organic electronics in principle would offer a maximum degree of miniaturization.
