The characteristics of the dye and the liquid-crystal liquid crystal composition can be particularly effectively controlled in the case of a dye having two or more ionic groups. In this case it is possible to use two or more different cations, each cation providing their own properties, or other properties. For example, a combination of Li + cations that provide increased solubility and three ethanol ammonium cations that decrease the cohesion of dye molecules and tetra-butylammonium cations that stabilize the liquid-crystal liquid crystal phase can be used to form single molecules and / (Complexes) with molecular dyes having a high degree of crystallinity. The dye has a linear molecular structure to promote the formation of a nematic liquid crystal liquid crystal phase and provide a higher degree of orientation by the formation of a liquid crystal layer, and as a result, can provide more effective selective transmission and reflection of the electron beam.

Addition of polyvalent cations such as 1 / 2Mg ++ , 1 / 2Ca ++ , 1 / 2Ba ++ increases the degree of coagulation in the molecular complex and increases the degree of coagulation, for example, To form a liquid crystal liquid phase of the complex, and its solubility can be increased by the use of a surface active ion.

The liquid-crystal liquid crystal composition is characterized in that one random mutual position of the dye molecules or supramolecular complexes is rendered impossible and the concentration of the diluting liquid to the required concentration, which must have an ordered LC state, for example by evaporation or membrane superfiltration Or a mixture of water, water / alcohol, a bipolar aprotic solvent (for example, dimethyl formamide (DMFA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), cellosolve, ethyl acetate and other solvents miscible with water ), And the like, may be obtained from either an aqueous solution, an aqueous-organic solution, or an organic solution of a suitable dye by dissolving the dry dye in a suitable solvent. At this concentration, the concentration of the dye in the liquid-crystal liquid crystal composition is selected within the range of 0.5 wt% to 30 wt%, preferably about 0.5 wt% to 20 wt%, more preferably about 0.5 wt% to 15 wt% .

In order to control the colloid-chemical properties of the liquid crystal liquid, the composition may contain, in addition to the solvent, additives and modifiers such as nonionic and ionic surfactants, binders and film forming reactants (polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, Polyacrylic acid and its ethers, polyacrylamides, polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols and copolymers thereof, ethyl- and hydroxypropyl ethers of cellulose, sodium salts of carboxymethylcellulose, and the like). The composition may further comprise additives from the amide family, such as hydrotropic additives such as dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, alkylamides of phosphoric acid, carbamides and N-substituted derivatives thereof, N-alkylpyrrolidones, Amides and mixtures thereof, and mixtures of amides and glycols. The use of suitable additives not only increases the stability of the composition but also makes it possible to control the aggregation process of dye molecules and consequently to control the formation process of liquid crystal liquid crystals. Thus, the addition of a hydrotropic additive enables the preparation of liquid-crystal liquid crystal compositions of a single dye molecule.

The liquid crystal layer may further contain stabilizers of different types of light, hydrophilic and / or hydrophobic polymers, including up to 50% by weight of modifiers such as liquid crystal, silicone, plasticizer, lacquer, nonionic, .

For the formation of the liquid crystal layer, a locally aligned liquid crystal liquid crystal composition may be deposited on the surface of the substrate by a method known in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,739,296. Under the influence of an external orientation effect, the liquid-crystal liquid crystal composition can be used in a direction in which the dipole moments of the optical transition dye molecules or their anisotropic absorption segments are set by mechanical orientation or surface anisotropy, It is possible to take a macroscopic orientation that is homogeneously oriented with respect to the substrate. For example, the orientation of the molecules during the solidification process, such as removal of the solvent or reduction in temperature, is not only well preserved but also increases due to crystallization.

In another example, the orientation of the liquid-crystalline liquid crystal composition on the substrate surface under the action of a shear force may be realized by deposition of a composition using a doctor blade, which may be a die or knife blade or a cylindrical blade. One method of preparing a dye-based liquid crystal layer of one of the different cation-containing forms provides for the treatment of a layer formed of a barium, calcium or magnesium chloride solution. By this treatment, a liquid crystal layer simultaneously containing cations such as lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, ammonium ammonium, alkylammonium, barium, calcium or magnesium can be produced.

The liquid crystal layer may further include a solvent, for example, an organic solvent having a high boiling point, etc., so as to be suitably applied to the transmittance controlling method described later.

The present application is also directed to a display device. An exemplary display device may include the polarizing element.

The specific kind of the display device including the polarizing element is not particularly limited. The device may be, for example, a liquid crystal display device such as a reflection type or transflective type liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting display (OLED), or the like.

In the display device, the arrangement of the polarizing elements is not particularly limited, and for example, a known configuration may be employed. For example, in a reflection type liquid crystal display, the polarizing element can be used as any one of the polarizing plates of the liquid crystal panel in order to prevent the external light from being reflected and to ensure visibility. Also, in the organic light emitting display device, the polarizing element may be disposed outside the electrode layer of the OLED in order to prevent reflection of external light and ensure visibility.
