Abstract
An organic high molecular liquid crystal containing the moiety shown by the following structural formula (1) as the recurring unit and having a number average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 100,000: ##STR1## wherein m represents an integer of from 2 to 10; n represents an integer of from 1 to 12; and --A--represents an aromatic group. The high molecular liquid crystal of this invention can be used for performing optical recording by utilizing the thermooptical effect thereof and also can be used as a fluorescence scattering liquid crystal element since the liquid crystal has a property of emitting fluorescence.
