| Photoconducting discotic liquid crystals as a new class of photoconductors are attracting great attention since they might form the unique columnar nanostructures with remarkable mechanical, optical and electric properties, which offer new tremendous possibilities in the applications such as organic photovoltaics, organic light emitting diodes and organic thin-film field effect transistors. Their alignments have been a crucial point for the possible applications. We will present the fascinating functional materials especially regarding our recent new results on the nature inspired light-harvesting discotic liquid crystalline porphyrins. The functional materials have exhibited extremely inspiring properties. |
