Abstract
The invention relates to a polymeric film composed of an optically anisotropic material made from a cross-linked synthetic resin composition comprising a polymer network, being obtainable by copolymerization of a mixture comprising (a) at least one monomer or oligomer, each of said monomers or oligomers having at least two polymerizable functional groups selected from the group consisting of (meth-)acrylate ester, epoxy and vinyl ether, (b) at least one achiral liquid crystalline monomer or oligomer, each of said monomersloligomers having mesogenic groups and one polymerizable functional group selected from the group consisting of (meth-)acrylate ester, epoxy and vinyl ether.
