Outline

Liquid-crystalline semiconductors are a new class of electrofunctional soft materials, which involve self-repairing capability and flexibility, in contrast to conventional crystalline or amorphous semiconductors. In this research project, supramolecular self-organization and orientation of the liquid-crystalline semiconductors ranging from nano to micro will be clarified. In addition, highly functional, sophisticated soft matter electronic devices will be fabricated by controlling their superstructures and interfaces.
