Method of manufacturing a reflector and liquid crystal display device including such a reflector

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a diffusive reflector ( 450 ) for a reflective or transflective Liquid Crystal Display ( 400 ). The reflector comprises a surface ( 452 ) that is structured by means of a photo-embossing process. Herein, a layer ( 100 ) of a mixture is provided including a photo-diffusible monomer ( 102 ), which may be transported through the layer under the influence of selectively applied irradiation. A layer relief is thus formed, which is preferably developed further at an elevated temperature. The layer is fixed and stabilized by means of a cross-linking step, preferably including thermally induced and/or photo-induced polymerization. In a final step, the polymer relieved surface thus formed is provided with a reflective material ( 154 ).
