Title:
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/123749
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display element which uses mono-stable ferroelectric liquid crystal and can control the orientation of spontaneous polarization of ferroelectric liquid crystal. The liquid crystal display element comprises a first orientation processing substrate having a first substrate, a first electrode layer formed on the first substrate and a first orientation film formed on the first electrode layer, and a second orientation processing substrate having a second substrate, a second electrode layer formed on the second substrate, a second orientation film formed on the second electrode layer and a reactive liquid crystal layer formed on the second orientation film and made by solidifying reactive liquid crystal, the first and the second processing substrates being disposed with the first orientation film and the reactive liquid crystal layer facing each other, the first orientation film and the reactive liquid crystal layer holding ferroelectric liquid crystal between them, characterized in that the ferroelectric liquid crystal exhibits a mono-stable feature, and, when a voltage is applied with the second electrode layer as a cathode, the molecular orientation of the ferroelectric liquid crystal changes about two times the tilt angle of the ferroelectric liquid crystal and in parallel to the surface of the first orientation processing substrate.
