Patent ID: 8330902

Claim:
A display cell comprising: a first plate and a second plate that are equidistantly spaced from one another, wherein at least the first plate is light-transparent and wherein an intermediate space is formed between the first and second plates; an inhomogeneous and anisotropic layer disposed in the intermediate space, the layer comprising a liquid crystal material and an organic polymer material, wherein the layer has first regions that are entirely, substantially or mainly comprised of the liquid crystal material and second regions that are entirely, substantially or mainly comprised of the organic polymer material; wherein the first regions are divided into separate compartments and the second regions surround the compartments; wherein the organic polymer material is comprised of a first polymer substance and a second polymer substance, wherein the second regions have first areas containing the first polymer substance and second areas containing the second polymer substance; wherein the second polymer substance has a glass transition temperature that is lower than a glass transition temperature of the first polymer substance; wherein a lateral expansion of the compartments is greater than a thickness of the layer and/or is in a range of 20 μm to 100 μm, wherein, when the compartments are surrounded by the second polymer substance, the lateral expansion is in a range of 10 μm to 100 μm.
