As well-known for liquid-crystalline (LC) displays [1] a variety of rodlike LC molecules that assemble into nematic and smectic phases align unidirectionally under the influence of an electric field (E field). In these cases, the direction of such oriented LC molecules can be controlled as desired. Hence, if semiconducting discotic LC molecules that assemble columnarly [2] can be aligned likewise by an Efield, superiorly conducting electronic ...
