We report a series of molecules that spontaneously self-organize into small electroluminescent domains of sub-micrometer dimensions when dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. The self-assembled spherical aggregates have an average diameter of 300 nm and exhibit efficient energy transfer from the blue to the green or red component. The aggregates can be chromatically addressed or patterned by selective bleaching of the energy-acceptor component using a laser source. This allows the fabrication of electroluminescence devices by directly photopatterning the active layer without the need of additional steps. Submicron features (700 nm) can be achieved using a collimated light source.
