LYOTROPIC CHROMOPHORIC COMPOUNDS, LIQUID CRYSTAL SYSTEMS AND OPTICALLY ANISOTROPIC FILMS

摘要

Lyotropic chromophoric compounds formed by reaction of a precursor comprising an anhydride with an amino acid are described. The compounds can be used to form lyotropic liquid crystal systems possessing high quality optical properties. The resulting liquid crystal systems are readily applied onto a substrate to obtain optically isotropic or anisotropic, at least partially crystalline films applicable in various fields.
