Abstract

It is of interest to develop new anisotropic materials for light emission. To this end, we have aligned poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylevinylene], MEH-PPV, in two different nematic liquid crystalline matrices, pentylcyanobiphenyl, 5CB, and a mixture of n-cyanobiphenyl liquid crystal, E7. Their alignment was investigated through linear dichroism measurements. Based on this work, a new family of optoelectronic devices and display technologies can be envisioned.
