Aggregation induced emission (AIE) luminogens (AIEgens) have great potential in the field of organic optoelectronic devices because of their highly efficient emission property in solid state. For example, high efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on AIEgens have been developed successfully. Some AIEgens also show good photovoltaic response properties for organic solar cells (OSCs) and organic photodetectors (OPDs), and lasing properties for optically pumping organic lasers (OLs). The review will cover the status and prospects of AIEgens in OLEDs, OLs, OSCs and OPDs. It is expected that AIEgens will become an important organic optoelectronic material system in the future.
