ABSTRACT:
An optical element comprising a polymer liquid crystal composition having an optically anisotropic multi-domain structure which is formed by crosslinking a composition containing a polymer liquid crystal. Since the multi-domain structure is stabilized by crosslinking, the element exhibits excellent reproducibility in restoring white turbidity.
