LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A liquid crystal panel (2) comprises: a substrate (10) in which a lower layer electrode (12) comprising a filled elextrode and an upper layer electrode (14) comprising a periodical electrode are superposed on each other through an insulating layer (13); a substrate (20) which is so arranged as to face the substrate (10); a liquid crystal layer (30) intercalated between the substrate (10) and the substrate (20); and alignment films (15, 22) each of which is arranged on the interface between each of the substrates (10, 20) and the liquid crystal layer (30) and can align liquid crystal molecules (31) in the liquid crystal layer (30) in a direction vertical to the substrates (10, 20) when an electric field is not applied. The liquid crystal panel (2) is a vertically aligned liquid crystal panel in which the liquid crystal layer (30) can be driven by a lateral field generated between the upper layer electrode (14) and the lower layer electrode (12) provided in the substrate (10), and the polar anchoring strength of the alignment films (15, 22) is more than 5×10-6 J/m2 and not more than 1×10-4 J/m2.
