  • Patent number: 4779957
    Abstract: A liquid crystal optical device is comprised of a pair of substrates having respective inner major surfaces spaced apart from one another and a liquid crystal layer composed of liquid crystal molecules and interposed between the spaced inner major surfaces. An electrode layer is disposed on at least one of the inner major surfaces. An organic filter layer colored in a given color tone is electrodeposited on the electrode layer. An organic alignment layer is disposed on the filter layer in contact with the liquid crystal layer for aligning the liquid crystal molecules. An organic protective layer is interposed between the alignment layer and filter layer for adhesively securing the alignment layer to the filter layer to protect the alignment layer from stress applied thereto relative to the filter layer.

  • Patent number: 4639088
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display having a multi-color display is fabricated with a plurality of display electrodes on a first substrate, on which a color filter is selectively formed by electro-depositing a polymer together with coloring matter and electroconductive particles so that the display electrodes have different colors and electroconductivity. A counter electrode is formed on a second substrate and a liquid crystal material is sandwiched between the first and second substrates, so that the material serves, in operation, as a light shutter controlled by the voltage applied between said color filter via said display electrodes and the counter electrode.

  • Patent number: 4617094
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a color filter for a solid state imaging device involving forming plural, spaced apart transparent electroconductive layers, insulated from one another, on a substrate and a layer of light absorbing material in the spaces between the spaced-apart layers. Co-electrodeposition of a coloring material and a polymer is used to deposit a colored layer on the electroconductive layers.

  • Patent number: 4610507
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device comprising a first display of twisted-nematic (TN) or guesthost (GH) type in front of a second LCD of TN type in which a multicolor polarizer is provided on one cell substrate. The multicolor polarizer consists of two layers and multiple picture elements. The color polarizers of one layer of the multicolor polarizer have different wavelength regions and absorption axes perpendicular to the polarizer elements of the other layer.
