The coatable polarizer has been required for manufacturing technology of printable electronic display as the next generation display. For realization of solution-processed polarizer, we propose application of highly-ordered single crystal composed of dichroic dye using guest-host effect for coatable polarizer. Both of guest-host effect and crystalline structure is expected to high-performance polarization characteristics. In this study, we discuss the polarization characteristics of azo-dichroic dye crystals using nematic-phase liquid crystal solvent.
