METHOD OF HEAT TRANSFER liquid crystal film using transmission components

摘要

The invention relates to a laser-induced process that employs a transfer element comprising a liquid crystal material for a thermal transfer onto a receiving surface. The process is suitable for generating markings with various appearance or optical effects on a surface of choice. The transfer element comprises a light-to-heat conversion layer and a transfer layer. The transfer layer comprises a liquid crystal material, especially a liquid crystal polymer film.
