Abstract
A display cell having two parallel transparent substrate plates which are interconnected at their periphery and which are each provided with an electrode and an orientation layer, and comprising a liquid crystalline compound in the cell space between the plates, the orientation layer being a monolayer of an alkyl mercaptan.
Claims7
A display cell comprising two parallel, closely spaced transparent substrate plates which are interconnected at the periphery by means of a seal, the plates being provided with an electrode at the facing surfaces and with an orientation layer which is applied to the electrode and which imposes a homeotropic or tilted orientation on a liquid crystalline compound which is provided in the space bounded by the plates and the seal, wherein the orientation layer is a monolayer of an alkyl mercaptan.
A display cell comprising two parallel, closely spaced transparent substrate plates which are interconected at the periphery by means of a seal, the plates being provided with an electrode at the facing surfaces and with an orientation layer which is applied to the electrode and which imposes a homeotropic or tilted orientation on a liquid crystalline compound which is provided in the space bounded by the plates and the seal, wherein the orientation layer contains a metal layer and a monolayer of alkyl mercaptan provided thereon.
