Embodiment Construction

[0034] The present invention relates to providing an optical computer readable medium, and in particular to optical storage using an anisotropic polymer network.

[0035] will now give the attached figure 1The illustrations of the upper, middle, and lower figures in, for providing schemes of computer readable media in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, these figures illustrate the process of forming a sparse liquid crystal (LC) layer comprising LC molecules in a metastable orientation. different states. Such an LC layer can be obtained by first applying the mixture on a substrate pre-coated with an alignment layer. This mixture is prepared by dissolving in a solvent a few percent of the liquid crystal molecules 102 of the first type (the liquid crystal molecules 102 have the ability to cross-link with each other, i.e. they are reactive), a certain amount of a dichroic fluorescent dye molecules 106 and molecules 104 of the second type of liquid c...

Abstract

The invention relates to producing an optical memory which combines stability of written and non-written data with high writing speed and good sensitivity during writing, such an optical memory as well as a method of writing in such a memory. The optical memory has a liquid crystal (LC) layer with a first type of LC molecules (102) aligned in one direction, forming a polymer network, and a second type of LC molecules (104) oriented in a perpendicular direction, in which the orientation of said second type of LC molecules is meta-stable. By making use of a force, exerted on the second type of LC molecules (104), by the network of aligned crosslinked molecules, an increase in relaxation rate for the second type of molecules (104) from a meta-stable state of orientation, is achieved, which makes it possible to use said relaxation for writing data at an increased writing rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to optical storage devices and, in particular, to a computer readable medium employing pre-orientation in a glass substrate for optical data storage and a method of producing the same. Background technique [0002] In the field of optical data storage it is well known that liquid crystal molecules having a glass transition temperature can be used. For example, an optical recording medium is mentioned in the document US5976638, which includes a liquid crystal polymer film in the same direction, and the film contains a glass transition temperature T g The liquid crystal molecules and dichroic dye molecules are oriented perpendicular to the film surface. [0003] In general, the absorption dipole moment of a dichroic dye is aligned with the long axis of the chromophore, therefore, the absorption of the dichroic dye molecule is well-directed. [0004] In the unwritten film, the liquid crystal molecules are isotropi...
