Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the heat and moisture resistance of a polarizing plate by injecting a liq. crystal compositin composed chiefly of a specified dichromatic dye and a vinyl monomer as a liq. crystal into the space between 2 sheets of horizontally oriented ''NESA '' glass and polymerizing the monomer under heating while applying voltage in the vertical direction. CONSTITUTION:A p type dichromatic dye and a polymn. catalyst are mixed and dissolved in a vinyl monomer having a liq. crystal group in the side chain of the methyl methacrylate monomer through a spacer and represented by the formula as a liq. crystal to prepare a liq. crystal composition. The liq. crystal composition is injected into the space of a cell using 2 sheets of ''NESA '' glass oriented horizontally by rubbing or other treatment. While heating and holding the resulting liq. crystal cell at a temp. at which the liq. crystal phase is shown, e.g. at 150 deg.C, an electric field of 100V is applied in the vertical directionto to cause the uniaxial and horizontal orientation of the liq. crystal composition, and in this state the vinyl monomer is polymerized. After finishing the polymn., the ''NESA '' glass is removed to obtain a filmlike color polarizing plate with high heat and moisture resistances.

Additionally, the two Nesa glass plates are subjected to a treatment such as rubbing in the same direction to achieve uniaxial horizontal alignment in the same direction. These two Nesa glass plates are interposed with a spacer to form a uniaxial horizontally oriented cell. The above liquid crystal composition is sealed in this cell. This cell is heated to assume a liquid crystal state, and an electric field is applied to the cell to align the liquid crystal composition uniaxially and horizontally with respect to the cell.
