Title:
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/230151
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Through the present invention, response time during falling in which a transition is performed from a state in which a horizontal electric field is passing through a liquid crystal layer to a state in which the horizontal electric field is not passing through the liquid crystal layer is shortened without increasing the complexity of the structure of an electrode for generating the horizontal electric field. A liquid crystal display device, wherein a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between a first substrate and a second substrate. The principal surface of a first alignment film constitutes the principal surface of the first substrate and is in contact with the liquid crystal layer, and has aligning ability whereby liquid crystal molecules included in the liquid crystal layer are aligned in a specific alignment direction. A partition wall is disposed on a first electric field concentration portion of a first pixel electrode and on a second pixel electrode and/or a second electric field concentration portion of the second pixel electrode. The surface of a second alignment film for covering the partition wall is in contact with the liquid crystal layer, and has aligning ability whereby the liquid crystal molecules are aligned in the aforementioned specific direction. The partition wall divides the liquid crystal layer in the direction parallel to the spreading direction of the liquid crystal layer.
