We present a critical review of semiconducting/light emitting, liquid crystalline materials and
their use in electronic and photonic devices such as transistors, photovoltaics, OLEDs and …

Diffractive waveplate technology presents an opportunity for designing arrays of all types of
optical components. We present here different architectures of arrays of waveplate lenses …

A commercially available phase modulated spectroscopic ellipsometer (PMSE) has been
used to characterize a full thin film transistor–liquid crystal display (TFT–LCD) structure …

We study the opportunity of using electrohydrodynamic instabilities in a nematic liquid
crystal mixture with negative dielectric anisotropy for controlling laser beams. Switching …

The synthesis and liquid crystal behaviour of light‐emitting trimeric liquid crystals consisting
of three mesomorphic moieties connected by aliphatic spacers are reported. The …

Heteroaromatic skeletons are important functional units for optic and electronic materials.
For the construction of novel functional soft matter, the self-assembled system utilizing the …

A new series of liquid crystalline conjugated oligomers, namely laterally and terminally alkyl-
substituted derivatives of oligo (1, 4-phenyleneethynylene) s, were synthesized, and the …

We report a new single-step method to directly imprint nanometer-scale structures on
photoreactive organic semiconductors. A surface relief grating is spontaneously formed …

Liquid crystals can be photoaligned with a single nanosecond pulse acting on thin
photoanisotropic coatings on the cell substrates. This phenomenon was demonstrated for …

Light‐emitting nematic liquid crystals are promising materials for organic light‐emitting
devices because their orientational anisotropy allows polarized electroluminescence and …
