MODULATOR MIT EINER FLÜSSIGKRISTALLZELLE, WELCHE EINE DIE ORIENTIERUNG EINES FLÜSSIGKRISTALLS BEEINFLUSSENDE SCHICHT AUFWEIST

摘要

To reduce the disadvantages of conventional liquid-crystal orientation layers, or of liquid crystal cells having such layers, it is proposed to deposit the orientation layer on a substrate from a plasma of a gas discharge, the gas having at least one hydrocarbon, particularly a monomeric hydrocarbon. The method of the present invention allows the angle of tilt of the liquid crystals adjacent to the orientation layer to be defined and reproducibly adjusted, thus improving the contrast and the rise time of light modulators.
