METHODS OF MAKING ELECTRO-OPTIC AND ELECTRO-ACTIVE LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICES, AND DEVICES OBTAINED BY SUCH METHODS

摘要

This invention describes a method for the loading and alignment of elastomers in electro-optic and electro-active devices. It comprises the in-situ polymerization between substrates of liquid crystal monomers in the presence of cross-linking reagents. It also describes the production of free-standing elastomer films.
