The invention is concerned with linear and cyclic polymers or oligomers having a photoreactive ethene group. The polymers are of the formula ##STR1## wherein M.sub.a, M.sub.b, M.sub.c are monomer units for homo- or copolymers;x, y, z are mole fractions of the copolymers, whereby in each case 0
摘要:
Polymeric coatings having optically non-linear or optically anisotropic properties in selected areas and of any arbitrary shape including a pattern. These zones are sharply defined from surfaces having centro-symmetrical or isotropic configurations or from surfaces with different optically non-linear or anisotropic properties. The polymeric coating has optically non-linear and/or mesogenic side chains, selected surface areas of which are cross-linked by the action of light, the zones which have optically non-linear or anisotropic properties being subjected to the influence or orienting fields or forces during the cross-linking process. The distances between optically different zones are limited to typically about 1 .mu.m.

摘要:
Sub-micron-structured (nanostructured) polymer film or coatings are made by coating a substrate with a mixture of materials. One of the materials is removed using a selective solvent, leaving pores or other nanostructure. The substrate may be grooved, providing a competing nanostructure. The coating may act as an antireflective coating, optical retarder, optical diffuser, or orientation layer.
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:
In liquid crystal display cells comprising a liquid crystal (7) disposed between two substrate plates (1,2) provided with drive electrodes (3,4), the orientation layer (5,6) on the inner sides of the plates where the electrodes are disposed comprises an oriented photopolymer layer. This layer is formed by irradiating photopolymer layer. This layer is formed by irradiating photoreactive material with linear polarized light.

The image-producing device comprises a liquid crystal cell with a liquid crystal (10, 21, 44) between two plates provided with drive electrodes (2, 6; 24, 25; 42, 46) and wall orientation layer (3, 7; 26,27; 43, 45) and an optically anisotropic polymeric additional element (9, 31, 52). The additional element, which can be a separate element or in the form of a coating or a foil stuck directly to the cell, comprises an oriented photopolymer.
