Abstract
A filament or fibre (2) comprising: a first conductive layer (4); an electro-optically active layer (6); a second conductive layer (8); wherein the filament or fibre has an off-state and an on-state, the electro-optically active layer comprising a combination of an electro-optically active substance and a polymer.
Claims31
A filament or fibre (2) comprising:
- a first conductive layer (4);
- an electro-optically active layer (6);
- a second conductive layer (8);
- wherein the filament or fibre has an off-state and an on-state, the electro-optically active layer comprising a combination of an electro-optically active substance and a polymer.

A method for forming a filament or fibre (2) comprising:
- forming a first conductive layer (4);
- applying an electro-optically active layer (6) either directly, or indirectly, to the first conductive layer;
- applying a second conductive layer (8), either directly, or indirectly, to the electro-optically active layer, wherein the electro-optically active layer is formed by:
- (i) forming the electro-optically active layer from a homogeneous system of cross linkable monomers and a non-reactive mesogen, prior to applying the electro-optically active layer to the first conductor;
- (ii) inducing a phase change in the homogeneous system.

A method for forming a filament or fibre comprising:
- forming a first conductive layer;
- applying an electro-optically active layer either directly, or indirectly, to the first conductive layer;
- applying a second conductive layer, either directly, or indirectly, to the electro-optically active layer, wherein the electro-optically active layer is formed by:
- (i) forming the electro-optically active layer from a homogeneous system of at least a polymer and a non-reactive mesogen, in combination with a common solvent, prior to applying the electro-optically active layer to the first conductor;
- (ii) removing of the solvent.
