Abstract :
Several series of bistolane liquid crystals were synthesized and characterized. The structure-properties relationship of the obtained compounds is discussed. These highly conjugated liquid crystals exhibit not only high birefringence but also low melting temperature. Their potential applications for flat panel display employing light scattering on Bragg reflection are emphasized
