Liquid crystal display device

摘要

A liquid crystal display device of the type in which thermo-writing is performed by means of irradiation of laser beams, the display device including a laser-sensitive liquid crystal composition exhibiting a maximum absorption at or near the wavelength of the impinging laser beam with which the display device is to be used. The specific improvement of the present invention comprises including in the liquid crystal composition at least two types of laser-responsive dyes, each being present in an amount less than its solubility limit in the liquid crystal composition, and each of the dyes evidencing a maximum absorption at or near the wavelength of the laser beam. In an embodiment, the dyes are chosen from the class of squarilium dyes.
