    摘要: A component has a substrate (1) made of a transparent material, for example glass. On this layer (1), there is a linear polarizer (2) on which there is a layer (3) of a photo-oriented polymer network (PPN)(-LPP) which is oriented in locally varying fashion via its surface which covers the substrate. The layer (3) is adjoined by an anisotropic layer (4) of cross-linked liquid-crystal monomers. This layer (4) then has a molecular arrangement whose orientation is defined by the underlying orientation layer (3). The layer (4) will have been photocross-linked by exposure to a suitable wavelength of light, with the result that the molecular orientation defined by the PPN layer (3) is fixed. The clement, denoted as a whole by 7, can then be used as an optical component which is protected against forgery, it being possible for the orientation pattern of the liquid-crystal layer or the optical information stored therein to be made visible by means of an external polarizer (5), for example.

    摘要: The invention relates to optical films and coatings and more specifically to a film or coating acting as a diffuse reflector or a diffuser, which is formed of a monomer-corrugated film or coating, which, when illuminated with CIE standard illuminant D65 under a selected direction has the property that within a desired angular range of observation of at least five degrees the difference in the CIE chromaticity coordinates (x, y) of said diffuse reflector or diffuser and of standard white BaSO4 is not more than 0.05 and the gain in brightness compared to standard white BaSO4 is not less than two. Diffusers and reflectors according to the invention are capable to redirect the transmitted or reflected incident light into a desired off-specular viewing cone whose shape is defined by the groove topology. The sizes (both grooves period and height), the vertical profile of the corrugations as well as their distributions and volume fraction can be adjusted via the MC-process. It can be used to control the spatial distribution of transmitted and reflected light and to achieve a desired state of polarization and whiteness.

    摘要: A liquid crystal switchable color filter switches between three color bands and is preferably used for time-sequential devices, such as projection devices, direct view displays and video cameras. The color filter may employ circularly polarizing selective reflection bands of at least four cholesteric filters together with three liquid crystal switches and related retarder layers. In one embodiment, the handedness of the second cholesteric is equal to the handedness of the third cholesteric filter and opposite to the handedness of the first and fourth cholesteric filter and, for the blocking state of a color band, the optic axis of the corresponding liquid crystal switch is parallel or perpendicular to the polarization direction. This concept leads to improved, excellent color saturation and requires less stringent production tolerances than in the prior art. Moreover, it advantageously allows overlapping color transmission bands thus improving the light efficiency.

    摘要: An optical component having a hybrid layer structure includes an orienting layer, a further layer in contact with the orienting layer and incorporating a cross-linked liquid crystalline monomer and at least one additional orienting layer on top of the liquid crystalline layer, and preferably includes one additional cross-linked liquid crystalline monomer. The layers have different functions, such as orienting or retarding. At least one of the orienting layers should be a photo-orientating polymer network layer, or have locally varying orienting pattern. These optical components are useful in transmittance and reflective liquid crystal displays, such as rotation cells, STN cells, ferroelectric cells, and cells having an addressable active matrix. Such cells are useful in optical and integrated optical devices, and may be used for safeguarding against counterfeiting and copying in transmission.

    摘要: A method of imparting a property to a material, the property being that cross-linkable monomeric or pre-polymeric liquid crystal molecules which may be placed on the layer would adopt preferred alignment. The method comprises exposing the material to unpolarised or circularly polarised radiation from an oblique direction, wherein the material is, for example, cross-linked by the irradiation, allowing monomeric or pre-polymeric liquid crystal molecules applied to or mixed with the exposed material to adopt the preferred alignment and while aligned cross-linking them. The invention also relates to LCD elements incorporating a preferred alignment.

    摘要: The commercial production of DHF (Deformed Helix Ferroelectric) cells, in particular DHF color display cells, has scarcely become established to date. This is in particular because the DHF cells required for this purpose and based on the known prior art have short switching times and a good angular range of view but relatively high voltages and currents are required for their operation. Moreover, for the production of a DHF cell, the liquid crystal mixture must additionally be oriented or formatted by means of an electric field. The present invention relates to a ferroelectric display cell which does not have these disadvantages and in particular is distinguished by the fact thatthe display is dark at U=0 and bright at .vertline.U.vertline.>0,the current-voltage hysteresis characteristic has two maxima of equal size,the birefringence .DELTA.n in the field-free state is greater than that in the saturated state andthe saturation voltage is relatively low even with very small spontaneous polarization P.sub.s (P.sub.s
