The self-contained properties of discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) render them powerful functional materials for many semiconducting device applications and models for energy and charge migration in self-organized dynamic functional soft materials. The past three decades have seen tremendous interest in this area, fueled primarily by the possibility

This text relies on only introductory level physics and chemistry as the foundation for understanding liquid crystal science. Liquid crystals combine the material properties of solids with the flow properties of fluids. As such they have provided the foundation for a revolution in low- power, flat-panel display technology LCDs. In this book, the essential elements of liquid crystal science are introduced and explained from the perspectives of both the chemist and the physicist.; The text begins with an historical account of the discovery of liquid crystals and continues with a description of how different phases are generated and how different molecular architectures affect liquid crystalline properties. The rest of the book is concerned with understanding and explaining the properties of the various types of liquid crystals, and in the final part of the book, the technology of LCDs is discussed and illustrated.

Liquid crystals (LCs) show unique optical and physical properties, and so these compounds are attractive for many applications, including displays, sensors, reconfigurable mirrors, photonic devices, etc. [1-5]. Due to the cost and performance limitations of devices based on existing LC materials, it is essential to develop novel systems that are cost-effective and with enhanced performance. Also, it is crucial to explore the properties of these soft matter materials with respect to the molecular modifications to better understand their broad applicability. This is especially the case if the phase types involved are recently discovered. Many chiral dopants required for cholesteric preparations are either obtained from conventional chemical synthesis or from plant extracts. So, in search for novel dopants which are of biological origin and are relatively cheaper to produce in large volume, a study has been carried out to develop chiral compounds made from the fermentation derived bio-precursors. Likewise, the recently discovered nematic ferroelectric (NF) LCs [6] have not yet gained practical utility though they have potential to be applied in next generation displays and optoelectronic devices. Although these NF LCs show response towards ultra-small driving voltage ~1V/cm [7], the realistic applications are limited due to their current shortcomings such as monotropic LC phase, high temperature phase transition, thermochemical instability, etc. Thus, to develop novel improved systems and to seek their pragmatic applications, a variety of unique NF LCs have been synthesized and studied. Similarly, to explore the synthetic challenges and the properties related to their structural features, several classic compounds such as cyanobiphenyls (CBs), CB dimers, and triphenylene discotics have been prepared and examined.
