Active devices combining a light source, color generation, and polarization control are of interest for applications from displays to quantum cryptography. In this paper, results on the photoluminescence properties of transition metal clustomesogens that are dispersed in chiral liquid crystal materials are presented to demonstrate their potential as next‐generation polarized light sources.
