A technique comprising: providing an assembly temporarily adhered on opposite sides to respective carriers by respective adhesive elements, the assembly including at least one plastic support sheet; heating the assembly while mechanically compressing the assembly between the carriers, wherein the strength of adhesion of one of said adhesive elements to the respective carrier and/or to the assembly is partially reduced during said heating of the assembly under mechanical compression; and wherein the strength of adhesion of the said adhesive element to the carrier and/or to the assembly is further reducible by further heating the said adhesive element after partially or completely relaxing the pressure at which the assembly is mechanically compressed between the two carriers.

Carrier release

A technique of producing a liquid crystal device, comprising: providing a cell assembly comprising a liquid crystal material contained directly between (i) a polariser component comprising an active film and no more than one support film, and (ii) a first control component including a stack of layers defining electrical control circuitry; and containing further liquid crystal material directly between the polariser component of the assembly and another control component including another stack of layers defining electrical control circuitry.

Liquid crystal devices

A liquid crystal (LC) device comprising a stack of at least first and second LC cells in optical series, each of the first and second LC cells comprising two half-cells and LC material contained in a space at least partially defined by spacer structures forming an integral part of one or both half-cells; wherein the arrangement within an active area of the device of the spacer structures in one of the first and second LC cells is different to the arrangement within the active area of the device of the spacer structures in the other of the first and second LC cells; and wherein the difference between the two arrangements comprises an ordered aspect.

A technique, comprising: removing a protective film from one side of a polarisation filter component to expose a dichroic doped polymer active film or a layer formed in situ on the dichroic doped polymer active film; and thereafter forming in situ on the side of the polarisation filter component one or more functional layers of a liquid crystal device.

A display device for conformal mounting on a curved surface inclined at an oblique angle relative to a horizontal plane, the display device comprising: a plurality of pixels, a first set of conductive lines connected to the plurality of pixels; and a second set of conductive lines connected to the plurality of pixels, wherein the first set of conductive lines and the second set of conductive lines are arranged to define a shape of each of the plurality of pixels such that the pixels appear, to a viewer, to extend at least one of horizontally or vertically across the display device when the display device is mounted on the curved surface.
