PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to precisely control the thickness of liquid crystal layer by imparting light shieldability to spacer disposed between display pixel electrodes and arranging the spacer so as to intersect both upper and lower substrates. SOLUTION: Liquid crystalline polymer is patterned on the respective inside surfaces of two sheets of substrates 10, 11 facing each other and the liquid crystalline polymers 1, 2 are formed in the position aligned to the parts where the display pixels do not exist. These polymers are used as the spacers. The molecular orientation of the liquid crystalline polymers 1, 2 is unified constant by rubbing, etc., and is aligned to the polarization axes of polarizing plates 15, 16, by which the light shieldability is imparted to the panel. Namely, the display pixels are formed in the intersected parts of the transparent conductive films 12 patterned to a column form and transparent conductive films patterned to a row form. The liquid crystalline polymers 1, 2 are so disposed in a stripe form as to be respectively aligned to the transparent conductive films 11, 12. The thickness of the liquid crystal layer is controlled by the intersected parts of the liquid crystalline polymers 1, 2. |
