CA 2343306

A structure and apparatus is described which utilizes the intrinsic self- assembling or aligning process of liquid crystal (LC) molecules to form an ordered structure, such as a structure having nematic or cholesteric ordering. The invention includes subtracting a constituent from a structure that includes a liquid crystal, to form a 'mold' or polymer matrix on a molecular level. By adding and/or subtracting materials to or from the mold, a liquid crystal-like structure may be obtained. This structure includes all or at least some non-LC material, while exhibiting some LC characteristic. The liquid crystal-like structure overcomes the drawbacks of LCs such as temperature sensitivity and mechanical instability.

L'invention concerne une structure et un appareil utilisant le processus d'auto-assemblage ou alignement intrinsèque de molécules de cristal liquide (CL) pour former une structure ordonnée, telle qu'une structure ayant un ordre nématique ou cholestérique. L'invention consiste à soustraire un constituant d'une structure contenant un cristal liquide, pour former un "moule" ou une matrice polymère à un niveau moléculaire. Par l'addition et/ou la soustraction de matériaux au/du moule, on peut obtenir une structure de type cristal liquide. Cette structure comprend tout ou au moins une partie de matériau non-CL, tout en présentant certaines caractéristiques du cristal liquide. La structure de type cristal liquide évite les inconvénients des cristaux liquides tels que la sensibilité à la température et l'instabilité mécanique.
