<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal cell that solves a problem about heat resistance in a retardation control layer and does not require an alignment layer for the retardation control layer in a liquid crystal element having a retardation control layer disposed in a cell, to provide a liquid crystal element and its manufacturing method that can maintain a constant cell gap and to provide a liquid crystal display panel. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal element comprises a pair of electrodes and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the electrodes interposed by a pair of substrates opposing to each other and has a retardation control layer between at least one of the electrodes and the substrate, wherein the retardation control layer contains a lyotropic liquid crystal compound. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
