The invention relates to a method of forming a composite, to composites and devices produced by said method, and to uses thereof.

Method of forming a composite

The present invention relates to a method of forming an array of polymer dispersed liquid crystal cells, to an array formed by such method and to uses of such array.

Method of forming an array of polymer dispersed liquid crystal cells

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one type of liquid crystal, to a liquid crystal cell and liquid crystal display device comprising such composition and to a method of preparing such a composition and/or such a liquid crystal cell.

Composition comprising at least one type of liquid crystal

A method of forming a composite containing a matrix component and at least one liquid crystal component includes providing a matrix, providing a first material that is phase separable from the matrix, adding the first material to the matrix, and replacing the first material that is phase separable form the matrix with a second material exhibiting liquid crystalline behavior.

Method of forming a composite containing a matrix component and at least one liquid crystal component

The invention refers to a composition comprising a liquid crystal material and an additive, preferably a dopant capable of forming a complex with said LC material, to a liquid crystal cell comprising this composition, uses thereof and to a method of improving the response time of a liquid crystal.

Composition comprising a liquid crystal material and an additive

The present invention relates to a method of forming a polymer dispersed liquid crystal cell. It also relates to a cell produced by such method and to uses of such cells.

Method of forming a polymer dispersed liquid crystal cell, a cell formed by such method and uses of such cell

A projection type display apparatus that projects video onto a screen includes a liquid crystal panel using polymer-dispersed liquid crystal that disperses light when a voltage is applied and that transmits light when a voltage is not applied, being attached to an apparatus bodyas a screen; and the video output from the apparatus bodyis projected onto the screenfrom the front side. Accordingly, there is provided the projection type display apparatus suitable for use in small space such as at home, in which a place for setting the apparatus is flexibly selected and the feeling of oppression is mitigated when the apparatus is not used.

Projection type display apparatus

The present invention relates to a method of improving the response times and bulk on-state alignments of negative-type liquid crystals by providing a liquid crystal material that comprises at least one negative-type mesogen comprising at least one soluble, dipolar dopant.

Response to the negative-type liquid crystals

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal mixture, especially for a liquid crystal cell for a color liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising a liquid crystal material and a dye, wherein said dye has a dipole, preferably a permanent dipole. The invention further relates to a liquid crystal cell for a color liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal mixture, substrate plates or substrate means for comprising said liquid crystal mixture, electrodes for applying an electric field to said liquid crystal mixture and a voltage source for applying a voltage to said electrodes, wherein said liquid crystal mixture comprises a dye with optical anisotropic properties having a dipole, preferably a permanent dipole. The invention further relates to a use of a dye with a dipole for a liquid crystal mixture, especially for a liquid crystal cell and/or liquid crystal displays.
