    摘要: The invention relates to a color filter layer of a cholesterically ordered material, in which the axis of the molecular helix is directed perpendicularly to said layer. According to the invention, the color filter layer comprises at least one dye which is able to absorb undesired colors caused by color shifts. A correct choice of the bandwidth of the primary colors of the color filter layer and the dyes significantly alleviates the problem of undesired color shift. The invention also relates to a liquid crystal color display device of the reflective type, which is provided with such a color filter layer.

    摘要: The Application relates to an illumination system comprising a fluorescent lamp and a broadband, cholesteric polarizer. Such a polarizer contains a layer of a polymeric material having a cholesteric order, which material is ordered in such a way that the axis of the molecular helix extends at right angles to the layer. The broadband character of the polarizer is obtained by causing the pitch of the molecular helix to increase from a minimum value at a first surface of the cholesteric layer to a maximum value at the second surface of the layer. In accordance with the invention, the polarizer should be positioned in the illumination system in such a manner that the cholesteric layer is directed towards the fluorescent lamp with its first surface. In addition, the value of the product p.sub.max.n.sub.e of the maximum value of the pitch in the cholesteric layer p.sub.max and of the extraordinary refractive index n.sub.e must range between 0.61 micron and 0.76 micron. By virtue of these measures, the illumination system has a surprisingly low viewing-angle dependence of the lightness and the color. The Application further relates to a linear polarizer for use in this illumination system as well as to a display device which comprises such a linear polarizer.

    摘要: The invention relates to an illumination system (7) for a colour image projection device (1). The illumination system (7) comprises a radiation source (3) for generating an unpolarized radiation beam (5) and at least a cholesteric mirror (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) for wavelength-selective splitting of the radiation beam (5) into at least two sub-beams of different wavelengths. A composite circular polarizer (35) for directly converting the unpolarized radiation beam (5) into circularly polarized sub-beams jointly forming one beam is arranged in the path of the unpolarized radiation beam (5) between the radiation source (3) and the cholesteric mirror (9). The composite circular polarizer (35) comprises a polarization-sensitive beam splitter (43) which splits the unpolarized radiation beam (5) into two mutually perpendicularly and linearly polarized sub-beams, and a polarization converter (51, 53; 59, 61). The circularly polarized monochrome sub-beams are subsequently modulated, either or not after passage through .lambda./4 plate (63, 65, 67), by a corresponding number of image display panels (27, 29, 31) and projected as an image via a projection lens system (33).
