Embodiment 1

[0119] Within the scope of the investigation in Example 1, time-dependent measurements were carried out in which the decrease in optical anisotropy during the polymerization process could be directly monitored.

[0120] a) 1.45 g (30%) of the compound hydroquinone-bis(4-acryloylbutoxy)benzoate (M.1), 0.97 g (20%) of the compound 4-acryloylbenzoic acid 4'-biphenyl ester (M.2.1), 2.37 g (49%) of the compound 4'-biphenyl ester of 4-allyloxybenzoate (M.3.1), 50 mg (1%) of Photoinitiator 2-methyl-1-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-2-morpholinopropan-1-one (commercially available, trade name Irgacure 907, Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Lapa Zheim) and 10 mg (0.2%) of the stabilizer 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) were stirred in the melt at 120° C. to a homogeneous mixture (mixture 1a). The two glass plates were coated with polyvinyl alcohol orientation layer respectively, and wiped in a single direction with a flannelette. At 120 DEG C., 5 mg of the nematic liquid crystal mixture 1a was ...

Embodiment 2

[0132] 2.1 g (42%) of hydroquinone-bis(4-acryloylbutoxy)benzoate (M.1), 1.4 g (28%) of 4-acryloylbenzoic acid 4'-linked Phenyl ester (M.2.1), 1.5 g (30%) of 4'-cyanobiphenyl-ester of 4-butoxybenzoate (M.3.3), 50 mg of photoinitiator Irgacure(R) 819 (Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Lappazheim) and 10 mg of the stabilizer BHT in the form of a melt were stirred at 120° C. until a homogeneous mixture (mixture 2). As in Example 1a), 5 mg of this nematic liquid crystal mixture was applied between two glass plates which had been coated with an alignment layer and distributed until a film about 10 microns thick remained. The film was heated at 120° C. for several minutes until it was completely clear and then crosslinked with UV-A light (approximately 100 mW / cm 2 ). After removing one of the glasses, the optical anisotropy Δn was directly measured at 633 nm using a prism coupler (MetriconModel 2010). The result was Δn=0.196, 32% more than that of the crosslinked liquid crystal polymerizat...

Embodiment 3

[0134] 1.5 g (30%) of hydroquinone-bis(4-acryloylbutoxy)benzoate (M.1), 1.75 g (35%) of 4-(4'-acryloylbutoxy base) 4"-biphenyl benzoate (M.2.2), 1.75 g (35%) of 4'-biphenyl 4-allyloxybenzoate (M.3.1), 50 mg photoinitiated Agent Irgacure 907 and 10 milligrams of stabilizer BHT are stirred at 120 ℃ in the form of a melt until becoming a homogeneous mixture (mixture 3). As in Example 1a), 5 milligrams of this nematic liquid crystal mixture are coated on two pieces of between glass plates coated with an alignment layer and spread until a film about 10 microns thick is left. The film is heated at 90° C. for several minutes until it is completely clear. The optical retardation at 633 nm is according to the above-mentioned Sénarmont Measured by the method. The measured uncrosslinked film is 2190 nanometers, which is consistent with the optical anisotropy Δn=0.201 when the thickness of the film measured in the UV-VIS spectroscopic needle is 10.9 microns subsequently. The UV-A light ir...

Abstract

The invention relates to a polymerisable mixture (P) containing A) monomers or oligomers (A), each of said monomers or oligomers (A) comprising at least two polymerisable functional groups which are selected from (meth)acrylate ester groups, epoxy groups and vinyl ether groups, B) liquid-crystalline monomers or oligomers (B), each of said monomers or oligomers (B) comprising at least one mesogen group having an aromatic double ring structure and just one polymerisable functional group which is selected from (meth)acrylate ester groups, epoxy groups and vinyl ether groups, and C) between 1 and less than 50 wt. %, in relation to the polymerisable mixture, of a monomer (C) comprising at least one mesogen group having an aromatic double ring structure and no groups which can react with the polymerisable functional groups of the monomers or oligomers (A) and (B).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to polymerizable mixtures and optically anisotropic polymers obtainable from the mixtures. Background technique [0002] Low molecular weight nematic or smectic compounds in the liquid crystalline phase temperature range can be oriented into thin layers and subsequently have an optical anisotropy by which polarized light can be influenced in a controlled manner. For example, the effect is technically used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), where an electric field is used to shift the orientation of molecules to change the brightness of individual pixels. In the case of thin layer thicknesses of several micrometers, optical retardations on the order of visible wavelengths can be achieved by appropriate selection of compounds with high refractive index anisotropy Δn. However, the optical anisotropy of this thin layer of low molecular weight liquid crystalline compounds is only stable in a very limited temperature range due ...
