The organic thin film solar cell has attracted considerable attention since a low cost solar cell fabricated by a printing process is expected. In this manuscript, a basis of the organic thin film solar cell and the concept of power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhancement are reviewed, and a printable thin film solar cell based on a columnar liquid crystal showing high carrier mobility due to the self-organizing characteristics. In terms of the PCE improvement, the effectiveness of the surface plasmon resonance has been discussed.
