Title:
CHOLESTERIC LIQUID CRYSTAL OPTICAL BODY AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010015170
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a reflective polarizer which has reduced absorption for transmission polarization, and uniformly operates over a wide wavelength range.
An optical body is formed using cholesteric liquid crystal materials. At least two different coating compositions containing cholesteric liquid crystal material are coated on a substrate. At least a portion of each coating composition is allowed to interdiffuse so as to generate a change in pitch along a thickness dimension of the optical body. This optical body is used, for example, as a reflective polarizer in an optical display.
