Organic semiconductor micro/nanocrystals (OSMCs) have attracted intensive research over the past few decades. Their unique electrical and mechanical properties afford them applications in a vast network of active flexible electronic and optoelectronic fields, such as organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), photodetectors (PDs), and organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) etc. However, the growth orientation and location of OSMCs are usually stochastic in nature, which hinders the further use of OSMCs in large‐area plastic electronic devices. On the other hand, traditional microelectronic processing techniques like photolithography may damage the plastic substrates, polymer insulators, and organic materials. Thus the alignment and patterning of OSMCs and development of new device construction technologies are prerequisite for their flexible device applications in practice. In this progress report,the important advancement for fabricating the aligned and patterned OSMCs, with a focus on their applications in next‐generation flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices, is highlighted. Also, the challenges and outlooks of the ordered and patterned OSMCs in the flexible device applications are presented.
