Abstract
This study provides a novel molecular design methodology that dramatically decreases the isotropization temperature of π-conjugated nematic liquid crystals (NLC). In addition, a large-area electric-field-responsive fluorescent switch device with a sub-millisecond response time is demonstrated using a luminescent NLC and a liquid crystal display cell. The era of alignment of liquid crystalline organic semiconductors as desired has begun (e660).
