    Addition of the tetrazolium compound (Tz) to the photographic emulsion affected largely the delayed formation of latent image specks in a vacuum. The sensitivity decreased strongly by the Tz addition. The increase of sensitivity through the delayed formation at the Tz added emulsion was very large and the sensitivity after the delayed formation reached the level equivalent to the control. As Tz acted as the formation site for photolitic silver atoms and enhanced the dispersion of latent image specks, not developable specks but undevelopable sub-specks and silver atom species are formed in almost all grains. The dispersed specks and species would be coagulated to form the developable specks by the delayed formation in a vacuum.

    Organic amorphous semiconductor films are widely applied to xerographic applications and electroluminescence devices due to feasibility of preparing large-area and uniform thin films in low cost. Their electrical properties, in particular, the carrier transport properties, however, are far from ideal properties in their molecular crystals and limit their device applications as they are. Recently we have developed a new type of organic semiconductors with liquid crystallinity in which we expected fast carrier transport due to the self-organizing molecular alignment. In fact, 2-phenylnaphthalene derivatives, which are a representative material of this type, exhibit the superior carrier transport properties characterized by a fast ambipolar carrier mobility of 10-4-10-2 cm2/Vs independent of temperature and electric field. In this paper, we survey its carrier transport properties on the basis of our experimental results and discuss them in comparison with those in the amorphous semiconductors to demonstrate its high potential as a new type of opto-electronic imaging materials in the future. In addition, new properties originated from anisotropic molecular alignment and their application to polarized light emitting diodes are also demonstrated.

    Molecular orientations triggered by photochemical events and autocatalytic formation of acidic and basic species catalyzed photogenerated acids and bases, respectively, are discussed from viewpoints of photofunctional chemistry. Light absorption is based on the matching of electric transition dipole moment of molecules with the electric vector of light so that optical anisotropy is generated as a consequence of photochemical transformations. The photoinduced optical anisotropy can be markedly amplified by the combination of suitable liquid crystal systems. Another system exhibiting molecular amplification consists of the autocatalytic decomposition of acid amplifiers, which is triggered by photogenerated acidic species, leading to the enhancement of photosensitivity of chemically amplified photoresists. Base amplifiers liberating aliphatic amines in a non-linear manner are also mentioned.

    Polypeptide having carbazolyl groups (poly {γ-[β-(N-carbazolyl)-ethyl] L-glutamate}(PCLG)) was prepared in order to obtain high photoelectric properties. Polypeptides can align their main chain axes towards the electric field by suitable DC poling due to large dipole moment along the α-helical main chain. The molecular alignment of PCLG in the poled film by applying DC bias vertically to the plane of the film was evaluated with f20 estimated by the dielectric constant, and its effect on photoelectric properties was discussed. PCLG with lower molar mass gave highly oriented film, and the photocurrent was increased with the orientation. These indicate that molecular alignment is effective to increase photoelectric properties. PCLG poled film after annealing to 100°C for 2 hr showed the similar electric properties to that before annealing. Due to the rigid main chain with high molar mass of PCLG, oriented main chain direction is thought to be hardly relaxed by heat treatment. PCLG poled film was revealed to show high photoelectrical and thermal properties.

    Photochromic diarylethene shows reversible change of refractive index upon photoisomerization. Newly synthesized diarylethene having t-butyl groups showed stable amorphous phase and photochromism in the salid state. Refractive index change as large as 0.038 was observed in the glass state.
