Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
An optical cell comprising liquid crystal means comprising one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds of formula ##SPC11## wherein R is straight-chain lower alkyl of 4 to 8 carbon atoms or straight-chain lower alkoxy of 5 to 8 carbon atoms, disposed between two plate means at least one of which plate means is transparent; means for controlling the optical activity of the cell; and said liquid crystal means having a helical structure in the direction perpendicular to the plate means and the surfaces of the plate means being wall oriented.
