Extract

We present the fabrication of a pixels structure by a well-defined pattern replication of a micrometer template driven by a surface free-energy lithographic technique, realized by molecular aggregation in dewetting conditions and by confining the liquid solution with geometric boundaries. The organization in the solid-state of the selected thiophene-based molecular materials allows to realize a bicoloured, green and red-emitting pixels structure, by exploiting the molecular structural arrangement, induced during a dewetting process, and the great conformational flexibility of DTT7Me.
