Abstract

La présente invention concerne les cellules utilisant un film de cristal liquide en phase smectique. Elle propose de disperser dans un matériau mésomorphe présentant une phase smectique des particules ayant une direction privilégiée d'absorption de la lumière et dont l'orientation est commandée par celle du matériau mésoniorphe. Les variations du coefficient de diffusion utilisées pour l'affichage dans les matériaux smectiques sont ainsi remplacées par des variations du coefficient d'absorption, plus faciles à mettre en oeuvre et produisant un meilleur contraste. Les particules dispersées peuvent être les molécules d'un pigment dichroïque. L'invention est applicable notamment à l'affichage, à la reproduction et à la projection d'images.
