Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing a polymeric membrane with a photonic crystal structure. The method comprises a mixing step, at least one irradiation step, at least one dispersion step and a liquid crystal removal step, wherein in the mixing step, a nonchiral liquid crystal, an optical active additive, a monomer and a photo initiator are at least mixed to form a liquid crystal monomer mixture; in at least one irradiation step, the liquid crystal monomer mixture is irradiated through a photomask; in at least one dispersion step, monomers at the periphery of one of irradiated areas of the liquid crystal monomer mixture are dispersed to the irradiated area; and in the liquid crystal removal step, the nonchiral liquid crystal is removed so as to form the polymeric membrane. Through the dispersion step after the irradiation step, the polymerization rate of the monomer can be improved, so a ratio of polymer in the polymeric membrane is improved and a chirality transfer rate is improved; and therefore, the polymeric membrane can display the photonic crystal structure and Bragg reflection characteristics under the condition of not requiring any fluid.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polymer film, in particular to a method for manufacturing a polymer film with a photonic crystal structure. Background technique

[0002] With the development of Flat Panel Display (FPD) technology, and because of its superior features such as light and thin body, low power consumption and no radiation, it has gradually replaced the traditional Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Display device, and applied to various electronic products. Among them, cholesteric liquid crystal (Cholesteric Liquid Crystal) is also used in display technology, especially in bistable displays, such as electronic paper.

[0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of molecular arrangement of cholesteric liquid crystal 11, which can be chiral cholesteric liquid crystal, or non-chiral liquid crystal added with chiral compound. Cholesteric liquid crystals basically have an asymmetric carbon atom (chiral center). The liquid crystals c...
