We present that conjugated polymer bearing chiral side chains self-assemble into solid microspheres with a twisted bipolar interior. The single microsphere exhibits distinct angularly anisotropic CPL with g_lum up to ∼0.5 in the equatorial plane, which is 2.5-fold greater than that along the polar axis.
