摘要 |
The invention presents a liquid crystal display device characterized by forming pixel elements of transparent electrodes on the confronting surface of a pair of light-transmissive substrates, forming insulating films followed by orientation films on the light-transmissive substrates, and filling the gap of the light-transmissive substrates with liquid crystal. At least on one of the light-transmissive substrates, insulation films of different materials contact the orientation film in the pixel portions and non-pixel portions, or the insulation film is formed only in the pixel portions. According to the invention, therefore, the asymmetricity of liquid crystal molecular orientation is weak in the pixel portions, and a bistable memory effect may be obtained. Further, in the non-pixel portions the orientation asymmetricity is intensified, so that a uniform clarity may be obtained.
