Abstract

We have mixed nematic light-emitting liquid crystals and incorporated them as insoluble cross-linked polymer networks in a liquid crystal white-light organic light-emitting diode (LC-WOLED). The light emission is not voltage-dependent and polarized white light emission is also demonstrated. This wet-chemistry approach to WOLEDs is compatible with patterning by photolithography as well as by inkjet printing at room temperature on plastic substrates by roll-to-roll manufacturing.
