    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 element, 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: An optical component in the form of an identification element (such as for counterfeit protection or copy protection) includes an optically anisotropic layer comprising regions of different optical axes that is arranged over a reflector. The anisotropic layer may be implemented with a liquid crystal polymer in which the orientation of the liquid crystals is different in different areas. Such an orientation pattern is initially hidden from a viewer, but becomes visible by means of an additional polariser. To improve the visual appearance of the identification element, a white light hologram may be used for the reflector.

    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: By combination of a hybrid layer formed from an orienting layer and a layer of a cross-linked liquid crystalline monomer with a reflector, and by appropriate local structuring of the molecule orientation, an optical pattern is obtained which cannot be copied using conventional photocopiers. This pattern is useful as means for protecting documents, such as banknotes, credit cards, and the like, from being copied, and can be detected by manually or automatically, operated optical reading devices.

    摘要: A liquid crystal cell comprising a cholesteric liquid crystal (3) between parallel plates (1, 2) as used e.g. for optical filters. The previously unavoidable interference through faulty disinclination is eliminated in that the cholesteric liquid crystal is mixed with a nematic or smectic liquid crystal material having negative dielectric anisotropy and the cell is subjected to an electric field directed at right angles to the plates.
