Discotic liquid crystals 25 years on
Richard J. Bushby,Owen R. Lozman +1 more
TL;DR: The first serious commercial development has also emerged as discussed by the authors, where the Fuji Film Company has perfected and marketed optical compensating films based on cross-linked nematic discogens with controlled hybrid orientation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid crystals that affected the world: discotic liquid crystals
Richard J. Bushby,Ken Kawata +1 more
TL;DR: The main applications and potential applications of discotic liquid crystals are reviewed in this article, where the most important application is in the manufacture of optical compensating films; films that increase the angle of view in liquid crystal displays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of quasi‐one‐dimensional electronic conductivity in discotic liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that a new class of quasi-one-dimensional conductors can be created by doping discotic liquid crystals with appropriate oxidants, which is characteristic of charge carrier transport by a hopping mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis of triphenylene-based discotic mesogens New and improved routes
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified procedure using iron III chloride instead of chloranil yields hexa-alkoxytriphenylenes in a single step, which can be performed on a large scale and also provides a better route than those currently available for making the unsymmetrically substituted triphenylenes required in the synthesis of polymeric discotic liquid crystals.
