Liquid crystal electro-optical device.

摘要

A liquid crystal display comprises a pair of substrates (1,1') provided with an electrode arrangement (3,3') in in matrix form. A chiral smectic C phase liquid crystal material (5) is interposed between the substrates (1,1'). In the liquid crystal layer, each pixel consists of a number of micro-domains which can be compared to polycrystalline structures. Interaction between adjacent pixels is suppressed by virtue of the discontinuities represented by the micro-domains.
