Research and Development of Selforganizing Molecular Semiconductors for Device Applications

Research Project Outline

The fast electronic conduction takes place in nano-scaled molecular aggregates of liquid crystalline molecules such as smectics and discotics. This discovery lead to the recognition that liquid crystals are a new type of organic semiconductors that self-organize into closely packed and oriented molecular aggregates. In this study, we aim to establish the scientific and technological basis of liquid crystals for device applications such as organic TFTs and organic LEDs.
