PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the manufacture which realizes a layer structure of the chiral smectic C liquid crystal, that has uniform C1 orientation and is close to the chevron structure without any restriction with respect to the liquid crystal material and oriented film material in a liquid crystal display device using a ferroelectric liquid crystal. SOLUTION: This manufacture consists of: the first stage for interposing a liquid crystal composition that contains a liquid-crystalline acrylate monomer and a ferroelectric liquid crystal, between two substrates each of which has an electrode layer and an orientation control film and at least one of which is transparent; and the second stage for irradiating the interposed liquid crystal composition in a state that shows a smectic A phase, with light from the side of the transparent substrate to polymerize the liquid-crystalline acrylate monomer into a polymer. Thus, in a liquid crystal display device using the ferroelectric liquid crystal, uniform C1 orientation can easily be obtained and also, as the layer structure of the ferroelectric liquid crystal, a structure close to the chevron structure can be attained, without any restriction with respect to materials of the liquid crystal and oriented films to obtain a high contrast picture image display. |
