A first electrode and a second electrode for defining pixels are formed on the opposed surfaces of a first substrate and a second substrate, respectively. A first projecting pattern is formed on the surface of the first electrode. A domain boundary control means is formed on the opposite surface of the second substrate. The first electrode and the first projecting pattern are covered by a first alignment film. The second electrode and the domain boundary control means are covered by a second alignment film. The first and second alignment films differ from each other in at least one of such characteristics as the film thickness, material and surface activity. After an ac voltage has been applied between the first and second electrodes, a dc voltage remaining between the first and second alignment films is lower than a dc voltage that would remain is such characteristics were equal.
