Columnar discotics for light emitting diodes

The suitability fo columnar discotics for applications in light emitting diodes (LEDs) has been investigated following the demonstration of their unusually large charge carrier mobilities. Results of X‐ray diffraction, computer simulations, and electroluminescence measurements are presented and discussed for discotic systems such as that shown in the Figure. Their use in LEDs is expected to the advantageous. magnified image
