<p>PURPOSE:To improve initial orientability by providing plural structural members having side walls to one substrate into a stripe shape, subjecting the other substrate to an orientation treatment in the direction parallel with or perpendicular to the extension direction of said members and using a specific liquid crystal compsn. CONSTITUTION:The structural members 104 having the stripe-shaped side walls 106, 107 are disposed to one substrate 101 of a pair of the electrode substrates 101, 110. The other substrate 110 is subjected to a uniaxial orientation treatment and the treatment direction thereof is controlled to the direction parallel or orthogonal with the extension direction of the members 104. The liquid crystal compsn. incorporated therein with one kind of a liquid crystal of which the phase transfers from a Ch phase to an Sm*phase in the course of a temp. fall and at least one kind of a liquid crystal of which the phase transfers from an isotropic phase to the Ch phase and crystal phase in the course of the temp. fall or from the isotropic phase to the Ch phase, Sm phase and crystal phase in the course of the temp. fall is used. The liquid crystal element made into the construction in which the operation of the element based on the bistability of the ferroelectric liquid crystal and the mono-domain characteristic of the liquid crystal layer are compatible is obtd. by such constitution and the defect at the spacer edge is eliminated even in the storage state in which the defect is particularly liable to appear.</p> |
