    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 Application describes a method and devices for manufacturing a broadband cholesteric polarizer having a well-defined bandwidth and edge position. To this end, a liquid-crystalline cholesterically ordered layer comprising reactive chiral monomers and reactive nematogenic monomers having a different reactivity is polymerized by exposure to radiation. The invention is characterized in that the intensity of the radiation is increased substantially, preferably by a factor of 10 or more, when a desired edge position of the band is reached. As a result, the bandwidth and edge position of the reflection band reached at that moment are frozen as it were. A monochromatic sensor can be used to determine whether said edge position has been reached, the wavelength used by the sensor corresponding to the wavelength of the desired edge position of the band. Broadband, cholesteric polarizers having a well-defined bandwidth and edge position can very advantageously be used in a display.

    摘要: An illumination system comprises a radiation source and a broadband, cholesteric polarizer. Such a polarizer includes a layer of a polymeric material having a cholesteric ordering, the material being ordered such that the axis of the molecular helix is oriented transversely to the layer. The broadband character of the polarizer is obtained by increasing the pitch of the molecular helix from a minimum value at a first surface of the cholesteric layer to a maximum value at the second surface of the layer. The polarizer must be positioned in the illumination system in such a manner that the second surface of the cholesteric layer faces the radiation source. By virtue thereof, the illumination system attains a surprisingly low viewing-angle dependence of the brightness and the colour. This property is further improved by using a quarter lambda plate having a negative an isotropy in the refractive index.
