Definitions
- the present invention relates to a marking based on chiral nematic (also called cholesteric) liquid crystal polymers.
- the invention also relates to a method for the modification of chiral nematic liquid-crystal films, in which a chiral nematic liquid- crystal layer is locally or selectively (one or more region(s)) modified with the aid of a modifying agent.
- cholesteric liquid crystal which exhibits viewing-angle dependent color.
- the cholesteric liquid crystal structure When illuminated with white light the cholesteric liquid crystal structure reflects light of a predetermined color (predetermined wavelength range) which is a function of the employed materials and generally varies with the angle of observation and the device temperature.
- the precursor material itself is colorless and the observed color (predetermined wavelength range) is only due to a physical reflection effect at the cholesteric helical structure adopted at a given temperature by the liquid crystal material (cf. J. L. Fergason, Molecular Crystals, Vol. 1 , pp. 293-307 (1966), the entire disclosure whereof is incorporated by reference herein).
- liquid crystal materials cholesteric liquid crystal polymers (CLCPs)
- the cholesteric helical structure is "frozen" in a predetermined state through polymerization and thus rendered temperature-independent.
- the chiral nematic liquid crystal phase is typically composed of nematic meso genie molecules which comprise a chiral dopant that produces intermolecular forces that favor alignment between molecules at a slight angle to one another. The result thereof is the formation of a structure which can be visualized as a stack of very thin 2-D nematic-like layers with the director in each layer twisted with respect to those above and below.
- An important characteristic of the chiral nematic liquid crystal phase is the pitch p (see Figure 1 ).
- the pitch p is defined as the (vertical) distance it takes for the director to rotate one full turn in the helix.
- a characteristic property of the helical structure of the chiral nematic phase is its ability to selectively reflect light whose wavelength falls within a specific range. When this range overlaps with a portion of the visible spectrum a colored reflection will be perceived by an observer.
- the center of the range is approximately equal to the pitch multiplied by the average refractive index of the material.
- One parameter which has an influence on the pitch is the temperature because of the dependence thereon of the gradual change in director orientation between successive layers which modifies the pitch length, resulting in an alteration of the wavelength of reflected light as a function of the temperature.
- the angle at which the director changes can be made larger, thereby tightening the pitch, by increasing the temperature of the molecules, hence giving them more thermal energy.
- a second possibility to overcome this problem is to insert directly the code inside the liquid crystal polymer film.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,207,240 the entire disclosure whereof is incorporated by reference herein, describes an effect coating of a cholesteric liquid crystal polymer (CLCP) with viewing angle dependent reflection color, which further comprises absoiption type pigments exhibiting a specific absorption color.
- a marking such as a symbol or a text, is generated in the CLCP coating by laser irradiation.
- the laser radiation carbonizes the CLCP material in the irradiated area.
- the color of the substrate on which the CLCP is coated, or the color of absorption pigments incorporated into the CLCP becomes visible in the irradiated area.
- the method requires high-power lasers to carbonize the material such that the markings are visible.
- the present invention provides a liquid crystal polymer marking.
- the marking is obtainable by a process which comprises:
- the at least one modifying agent may at least partially convert the chiral liquid crystal state into an isotropic state.

- stage (U) of the process may comprise a heating of the applied composition to a temperature of from about 55°C to about 150°C, e.g., from about 55°C to about 100°C, or from about 60°C to about 100°C.
- stage (iii) of the process may comprise an application (e.g., deposition) of the at least one modifying agent by continuous ink-jet printing and/or drop- on-demand ink-jet printing and/or spray coating and/or valve-jet printing.

- the substrate for use in the present invention is not particularly limited and can be of various types.
- the substrate may, for example, consist (essentially) of or comprise one or more of a metal (for example, in the form of a container such as a can for holding various items such as, e.g., beverages or foodstuffs), optical fibers, a woven, a coating, and equivalents thereof, a plastic material, glass (for example, in the form of a container such as a bottle for holding various items such as, e.g., beverages or foodstuffs), cardboard, packaging, paper, and a polymeric material.
- a metal for example, in the form of a container such as a can for holding various items such as, e.g., beverages or foodstuffs
- a plastic material, glass for example, in the form of a container such as a bottle for holding various items such as, e.g., beverages or foodstuffs
- cardboard packaging, paper, and a polymeric material.
- the substrate will preferably have
- the substrate further will advantageously have a dark or black surface or background onto which the precursor composition is to be applied.
- a dark or black background the light transmitted by the cholesteric liquid crystal material is largely absorbed by the background, whereby any residual backscattering from the background does not disturb the perception of the cholesteric liquid crystal material's own reflection with the unaided eye.
- the reflection color of the cholesteric liquid crystal material is less visible when compared with a black or dark background, due to the strong backscattering from the background.
- Non-limiting examples of suitable substrates include: cardboard darkened with black gravure ink (no overprinted varnish); cardboard darkened with black offset ink (no overprinted varnish); cardboard darkened with any black ink and overprinted with water based varnish; cardboard darkened with any black ink and overprinted with solvent varnish; metal treated with black coating.

- the chiral liquid crystal precursor composition that is used for making the marking according to the present invention and is applied (e.g., deposited) onto at least a part of at least one surface of the substrate comprises a mixture of (i) one or more nematic compounds A and (ii) one or more cholesteric (i.e., chiral dopant) compounds B (including cholesterol) which are capable of giving rise to a cholesteric state of the composition.
- the pitch of the obtainable cholesteric state depends on the relative ratio of the nematic and the cholesteric compounds.
- the (total) concentration of the one or more nematic compounds A in the chiral liquid crystal precursor composition for use in the present invention will be about Five to about twenty times the (total) concentration of the one or more cholesteric compounds B.
- a precursor composition with a high concentration of cholesteric compounds is not desirable (although possible in many cases) because the one or more cholesteric compounds tend to crystallize, thereby making it impossible to obtain the desired liquid crystal state having specific optical properties.
- Nematic compounds A which are suitable for use in the chiral liquid crystal precursor composition are known in the art; when used alone (i.e., without cholesteric compounds) they arrange themselves in a state characterized by its birefringence.
