Abstract
Several room temperature bis-tolane liquid crystals were synthesized and their physical properties evaluated at elevated temperatures. These highly conjugated liquid crystals exhibit not only high birefringence (Δn>0.4) but also low melting temperature. Their applications for flat panel displays employing light scattering or Bragg reflection and for infrared spatial light modulators are emphasized.Keywords
