A thin polarized‐light emitting film is fabricated by aligning nanorods in an electric field and subsequent polymerization. A polarization ratio of 0.60 is obtained with this method. The thickness of the film is in the order of a few micrometer, and the method is compatible with large‐scale processing on cheap, flexible, and transparent substrates. The process can be realized in a roll‐to‐roll process as in a printing process, when one substrate is flexible and passes over a roll with electrodes.
