The present invention relates to a container lock, a method for locking a container with at least one door (), and a container provided with a lock, said door () having a first frame edge portion (), and said container having a second frame edge portion () positioned adjacent to said first frame edge portion () in a closed position of the door, wherein said container lock comprises: an interior blocking portion (), having a body () adapted to extend over said first and second frame edge portions (), and an engaging abutment () and an extension portion () extending out from said body () so that, when said interior portion () is arranged on the inside of said second frame edge portion (), said engaging abutment () and extension portion () provide interacting engagement of opposite side surfaces of said second frame edge portion (), and said extension portion () extends from the interior of the container to the exterior of the container, and an exterior blocking means () for lockable interaction with said extension portion ().

Container lock and method for locking of container door

An electro-optic device including a liquid crystal material is disclosed, comprising antiferroelectric liquid crystals with large molecular tilt &#x3b8; of about 45&#xb0; degrees, disposed between two flat glass or polymer substrates. The liquid crystal molecules are preferably oriented parallel to the substrates (so-called HAF texture). The device is e.g. placed between two crossed polarizers so that in field-off conditions the impinging light is not passing through the device due to the isotropic optical properties of the antiferreoelectric liquid crystal aligned in HAF texture. An applied electric field induces a continuous transition of the optically isotropic antiferreoelectric (AF) state to ferroelectric (F) one which is birefringent enabling the transmission of light. The field-induced continuous switching between the optically isotropic antiferreoelectric state and the birefringent ferroelectric state enables the generation and fast switching of high contrast as well as generation of grey scale levels.
