Abstract

For a certain class of molecules which form a lyotropic liquid crystalline phase, the oriented molecular layers possess negative birefringence. When the liquid crystal is sheared onto a substrate to produce a thin film, the optic axis orients along the shearing direction of the material. The dried lyotropic films can be applied for improvement of the viewing angle performance of liquid crystal displays.
