Abstract
The invention relates to optical elements based on liquid-crystalline substances, and to a process for the production thereof. The optical elements based on liquid-crystalline substances are ones which exhibit no birefringence in a defined direction of incidence, optical elements in which no birefringence occurs perpendicularly to the surface being excepted. The process for preparing the optical elements comprises illuminating a liquid-crystalline substance with unpolarized light of suitable wavelength at a defined angle in such a way that, after illumination, the director of this substance is aligned parallel to the direction of the illuminating light on passing through said substance.
