Liquid crystal display device

摘要

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device in which a display failure is unlikely to occur even in the case of forming no alignment film. The liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a pair of substrates having substantially no alignment film; a liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between the substrates and which contains a liquid crystal material; and a polymer layer which is formed on a surface of at least one of the substrates and which controls the alignment of molecules of a liquid crystal. The polymer layer is one formed by polymerizing at least one monomer contained in the liquid crystal layer. The monomer contains a compound represented by Chemical Formula (1).

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a pair of substrates having substantially no alignment film; a liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between the substrates and which contains a liquid crystal material; and a polymer layer which is formed only on a surface of at least one of the substrates and which controls the alignment of molecules of a liquid crystal to align the molecules in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, wherein the polymer layer is one formed by polymerizing at least one monomer contained in the liquid crystal layer and the monomer contains a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula (1):(where A represents an acrylate group, a methacrylate group, an ethacrylate group, a vinyl group, or an allyl group; a is 0 or 1; b is 0 or 1; m is a natural number of 4 to 12; and n is an integer of 2 to 4).
