Formation techniques of flexible liquid crystal device by collaboration of materialcharacteristics between liquid crystal and solid-state organic materials

Abstract

The development of solution-processed large-area flexible liquid crystal displays has a potentialfor further progress of organic electronics in the future. We have been studied fundamental technologiesbased on the functionality in nematic-phase liquid crystalline materials for flexible liquid crystal devices suchas orientational control of organic semiconducting single crystals, the novel device structure using structuraltransfer with imprint method and development of composite films composed of self-organizeddendrimer/liquid crystal for long lifetime device. In this paper, we report their techniques based on liquidcrystalline characteristics.
