This is an exciting stage in the development of organic
electronics. It is no longer an area of purely academic interest as
increasingly real applications are being developed, some of which
are beginning to come on-stream. Areas that have already been
commercially developed or which are under intensive development
include organic light emitting diodes (for flat panel displays and
solid state lighting), organic photovoltaic cells, organic thin
film transistors (for smart tags and flat panel displays) and
sensors. Within the family of organic electronic materials, liquid
crystals are relative newcomers. The first electronically
conducting liquid crystals were reported in 1988 but already a
substantial literature has developed. The advantage of liquid
crystalline semiconductors is that they have the easy
processability of amorphous and polymeric semiconductors but they
usually have higher charge carrier mobilities. Their mobilities do
not reach the levels seen in crystalline organics but they
circumvent all of the difficult issues of controlling crystal
growth and morphology. Liquid crystals self-organise, they can be
aligned by fields and surface forces and, because of their fluid
nature, defects in liquid crystal structures readily self-heal.
With these matters in mind this is an opportune moment to bring
together a volume on the subject of 'Liquid Crystalline
Semiconductors'. The field is already too large to cover in a
comprehensive manner so the aim has been to bring together
contributions from leading researchers which cover the main areas
of the chemistry (synthesis and structure/function relationships),
physics (charge transport mechanisms and optical properties) and
potential applications in photovoltaics, organic light emitting
diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). This
book will provide a useful introduction to the field for those in
both industry and academia and it is hoped that it will help to
stimulate future developments.
