In recent years, liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) have been widely used for interference filters, optical retarders, color filters, and polarization converters. The LCPs need to be processed into optically anisotropic film structures for a variety of applications. Among the LCP-based devices, thin and patterned optical retarders are key components for transflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for mobile applications in the ubiquitous environment. In this talk, the physical principle of the LCP alignment and the device configurations of the LCP films will be described. In addition, a nano-imprinting technique combined with the exposure of ultraviolet light, which is a viable method of producing a wide range of anisotropic optical films of the LCPs, will be discussed. |
