Discotic liquid crystals are a type of liquid crystal characterized by disc-shaped (or disc-like) molecules that can self-assemble into ordered structures, allowing for unique anisotropic properties. Unlike conventional liquid crystals, which are based on rod-shaped (or calamitic) molecules, discotic liquid crystals have a more planar geometry.
