LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

In a liquid crystal display device, liquid crystal molecules are oriented in a vertical direction to the first substrate and the second substrate by the first molecule orientation film and the second molecule orientation film, respectively, in a non-driving state. A structural pattern is formed so as to extend in a first direction parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal layer and so as to form, in a driving state, an electric field periodically changing in a second direction that is parallel to the liquid crystal layer and vertical to the first direction. The liquid crystal molecules substantially tilt in the first direction in the driving state.

主权项

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a first substrate; a second substrate facing said first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sealed between said first substrate and said second substrate; a first electrode formed on said first substrate; a second electrode formed on said second substrate; a first molecule orientation film formed on said first substrate so as to cover said first electrode; a second molecule orientation film formed on said second substrate so as to cover said second electrode; a plurality of micro structures associated with at least one of the first and second electrodes; and a plurality of rough structural patterns associated with at least one of the first and second electrodes, wherein: at least some of said micro structures extend generally parallel to each other; and said rough structural patterns extend in directions different from directions in which said micro structures extend.
