Description

Rolic is a cutting-edge technology firm, subsidiary of BASF and headquartered near Basel. The company develops and sells functional materials for display, optical and opto-electrical applications. Using its patent-protected LCMO (Light Controlled Molecular Orientation) technology, Rolic can manipulate surfaces on a nanoscale level using polarized light to produce distinctive optical effects by controlling the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules.

The multidisciplinary development projects undertaken by our R&D department involve material science and device engineering across a range of fields, including display, light management, energy harvesting, and sensing. To support the conception process, we have developed a polarization optics modelling platform, which enables accurate modelling and optimization of the optical stacks.
