The cover picture shows an artist's representation of a new class of luminescent discotic liquid crystals based on alkoxy‐substituted unsymmetrical hexa‐peri‐hexabenzocoronene cores that self‐organize into room‐temperature columnar superstructures. This system is a promising candidate as an active component of organic light‐emitting devices, due to its facile processability, low‐band‐gap, luminescence, and exceptionally higher ordered self‐organization behavior in the mesophase derived from X‐ray scattering studies.
