A hydrogen-bonding-tolane-based liquid crystalline material with an alkylsulfanyl group was synthesized, which exhibited a long-range correlated mesophase compared with analogs with alkyl and alkoxy groups.

AbstractWe have fabricated polycrystalline OFETs of two different liquid crystalline materials i.e., ω,ω'-dihexylquaterthipohene (6-QTP-6) and N, N'-ditridecylperylenediimide (13-Per-13) by solution process. Liquid crystalline materials help fabricating uniform thin films on the substrate when spin-coated at their temperature range of liquid crystalline phase. The FETs fabricated with 6-QTP-6 exhibited p-channel performance and its mobility was determined to be 0.04 cm2/Vs, which was comparable to that determined by time-of-flight experiments. The FETs fabricated with 13-Per-13 exhibited n-channel performance and its FET mobility was 0.008 cm2/Vs, while the mobility was increased up to 0.11 cm2/Vs after thermal annealing of the film at a liquid crystalline temperature of 220°C for an hour. Judging from these facts, the grain boundaries are controlled not so as to across the conduction channels formed by self-aligned π-conjugated aromatic cores in liquid crystalline molecules. We conclude that liquid crystalline material is a good candidate for quality polycrystalline thin films for OFETs.

AbstractSpin-coated thin films of cyclohexane-based liquid crystalline materials were used for the fabrication of electroluminescent diodes. Electroluminescence from single-component films of cyclohexane-based liquid crystalline materials was observed. Double component films composed of a cyclohexane-based liquid crystalline material and a conventional hole transport dye were shown to give improved electroluminescence performances, but emission was due to exciplexes composed of two components. Use of cyclohexane-based dye molecules was effective for suppressing the formation of inter-molecular complexes. The highest external quantum efficiency observed was 0.17%.

Many sheared liquid crystalline materials (fibers, films and moldings) exhibit a fine banded microstructure when observed in the polarized light microscope. In some cases, for example Kevlar® fiber, the periodicity is close to the resolution limit of even the highest numerical aperture objectives. The periodic microstructure reflects a non-uniform alignment of the constituent molecules, and consequently is an indication that the mechanical properties will be less than optimal. Thus it is necessary to obtain quality micrographs for characterization, which in turn requires that fine detail should contribute significantly to image formation.It is textbook knowledge that the resolution achievable with a given microscope objective (numerical aperture NA) and a given wavelength of light (λ) increases as the angle of incidence of light at the specimen surface is increased. Stated in terms of the Abbe resolution criterion, resolution improves from λ/NA to λ/2NA with increasing departure from normal incidence.
