Dispersion of ultranarrow ZnS nanorods of molecular dimensions encapsulated by a fluid‐like soft organic layer in the nematic liquid crystal (LC ZLI‐4792) results in a novel soft‐matter‐type blend with previously unachieved electro‐optic properties. The local ordering of the nanorods significantly affects the global ordering of the blend, allowing a more rapid response.
