Simple ester derivatives of polycyclic arenes offer access to light-emitting diodes of nearly any visible color by making use of the good charge-transport properties of the columnar liquid crystals of these derivatives. The picture shows the orange-red electroluminescence of a light-emitting diode containing the perylene 3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid ethyl ester (structure shown, R=Et). Through use of multiple layers of different esters light-emitting diodes with almost white luminescence can be obtained.
