ABSTRACTWe have investigated the charge carrier transport properties of polycrystalline films fabricated with discotic and calamitic liquid crystals. The polycrystalline films of these liquid crystals exhibiting particular textures under a polarized microscope, i.e., hexagonal and co-circular patterns for discotic and calamitic liquid crystals, respectively, which indicate that the molecular alignment in the liquid crystalline phase is well preserved exhibit clear hole transport along with molecular stacks even in a 15 μm thick film, judging from transient photocurrents by time of flight method. The hole mobilities are over 0.1 cm2/Vs at room temperature. These results indicate formation of fewer grain boundaries across conduction channels. On the other hand, the carrier transport properties in the polycrystalline films of non-liquid crystalline molecules with the same molecular shape exhibit no particular patterns as described and photocurrents are annihilated in the bulk as a function of time, indicating many deep trap sites in grain boundaries. The present results indicate that the liquid crystalline molecule is a good candidate for preparing quality organic polycrystalline semiconductor thin films in opto-electronic applications.

Carrier Transport Properties

ABSTRACTA novel composite system containing of liquid crystalline semiconductor and crosslinked polymer exhibited high hole mobilities with comparison of that of pure liquid crystalline molecules. The carrier transport properties were influenced by the polymerized conditions. The mobilities were independent on temperature and electric field in the case of mesophases polymerized samples. These carrier transport properties were essentially different of those of well-known molecularly doped polymers.
