Abstract
The invention relates to interference pigments comprising molecules fixed in a cholesteric configuration, and to the use thereof. The pigments of the invention have a plateletlike structure and a thick ness of from 1 .mu.m to 20 .mu.m. They contain oriented, crosslinked substances with a liquid-crystalline structure having a chiral phase.
Claims7
A pigment having a structure which is substantially that of a platelet, a thickness of from 1 .mu.m to 20 .mu.m and a diameter of between 500 .mu.m and 5 .mu.m consisting essentially of oriented three-dimensionally, crosslinked substances of a liquid-crystalline structure having a chiral phase.
