Abstract: A process of preparing a color filter array element for use in making a color liquid crystal display device comprising:(a) overlaying a dye-receiving element with a dye-donor element, the dye-receiving element comprising a dimensionally-stable temporary support having thereon, in order, a polymeric alignment layer, a transparent conducting layer and a dye-receiving layer;(b) imagewise heating the dye-donor element to transfer a dye image in a repeating mosaic pattern to the dye-receiving layer;(c) removing the dye-donor element from contact with the dye-receiving element;(d) laminating a transparent permanent support to the dye-receiving layer containing the dye image in a repeating mosaic pattern; and(e) removing the temporary support to expose one surface of the polymeric alignment layer, thereby forming the color filter array element.

Abstract: A photopolymerizable monomer comprising a lipid having at least one hydrophobic acyl chain containing at least two conjugated acetylenic linkages is useful in preparing radiation-sensitive compositions and photographic elements comprising a plurality of liposomes. Further, processes for photopolymerizing the radiation-sensitive compositions and for forming an image in the photographic elements comprise exposing the lipid to radiation, heating the lipid to a temperature equal to or above a first transition temperature of the lipid to render it insensitive to further exposure, and optionally cooling the lipid to a temperature equal to or below a seocnd phase transition temperature of the lipid to render it again sensitive to further exposure. The monomeric lipids, when photopolymerized, form polymeric lipids exhibiting decreased solubility and liposome wall permeability as compared to the unpolymerized monomeric lipids.

Abstract: An electro-optic display is provided which uses a liquid crystalline composition (a) having a positive, zero frequency dielectric anisotropy and (b) exhibiting a dielectric anisotropy inversion with increasing frequency of an applied field. Such a composition is subjected to an electric field of a first audio frequency and then subjected to a field of a second audio frequency of a magnitude sufficient to produce a dielectric anisotropy inversion in said composition. The resultant anisotropy changes allow the molecular orientation of the composition to be altered by the applied field thereby changing the optical properties of the composition.
