In this paper we designed a kind of aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) chiral fluorescence emitters (R/S‐BINOL‐CN enantiomers) in the aggregate state. Chiral emissive nematic liquid crystals (N*‐LCs) prepared by doping this kind of AIE‐active R/S‐BINOL‐CN enantiomers into a common achiral nematic li...
