Claim:
1. A method for continuously manufacturing and ordering a liquid crystal optical device the method comprising: providing two flexible substrates that are parallel to each other, said flexible substrates having surfaces facing each other on which are disposed respective electrode layers, one substrate supports a layer of a liquid crystal layer having characteristics of an isotropic order, bringing said substrates together into a nip, combining within said nip said substrates into a laminate, further handling the laminate by a member with a means to exert a predetermined compressive force upon said laminate, by contacting the exterior surfaces of said laminate, so that said liquid crystal layer deposited within said laminate is sheared and thereby responds to the shearing force transforming the liquid crystal layer having characteristics of an anisotropic order wherein the liquid crystal layer is sheared uniformly by continuously moving the means exerting compression on the liquid crystal layer, polymerizing resins within said liquid crystal layer with electromagnetic radiation, and cutting said laminate into a plurality of separate liquid crystal displays.
