Liquid crystals (LCs) have recently gained significant importance in organic photovoltaics (PVs). Power-conversion efficiency up to about 10% has reached in solar cells incorporating LCs. This review presents an overview of the developments in the field of organic PVs with LCs. Comprehensive details of LCs used in bilayer solar cells, bulk heterojunction solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells have been given. An outlook into the future of this newly emerging, fascinating and exciting field of self-organizing supramolecular LC PV research is provided.
