Abstract
A new method for aligning light-emitting materials is reported here: The fr iction transfer technique was used to produce the poly(tetrafluoroethylene) surface shown in the Figure. The surface has a high density of ridges and grooves with height variations on the tennanometer scale, and thin films wi th high optical quality and controllable thickness were readily obtained. P olarized LEDs fabricated on such surfaces show high dichroic ratios.
