Abstract

Electroluminescence is achieved from photopolymerized films of methacrylate and diene-ester containing monodisperse liquid crystals. It is shown that the diene-ester chromophore has minimal photodegradation on polymerization. The relative merits of using methacrylates and diene-esters as polymerizable groups are compared.
