LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICE AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

In a homeotropic liquid crystal device (29) which has rectangular or square pixel electrodes (25), a rubbing treatment is performed at an angle of 45 DEG with respect to the direction of the side of the pixel electrode (25) (the direction indicated by arrow (30)) and, further, a pair of polarizers (31 and 32), whose polarization directions are perpendicular to each other, are so provided that the directions of the polarization axes are in parallel with or perpendicular to the side of the pixel electrode (25). Thus, the light leakage at the time of black display which is caused by the orientation disturbance of liquid crystal molecules (35) adjacent to the periphery of the rectangular or square pixel electrode (25) in the homeotropic liquid crystal device (29) can be eliminated and the contrast can be improved.
