A glass‐forming conjugated main‐chain liquid crystal polymer for polarized electroluminescence applications

Electroluminescence and liquid crystallinity : these are the properties of a new spacerless conjugated main‐chain liquid‐crystalline (LC) polymer reported here. The thermal and spectroscopic properties of the new glass‐forming poly‐fluorene with octyl side chains (see Figure) are described, showing that polarized electroluminescent multilayer devices should be possible. magnified image
