PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture a liquid crystal electrooptical device which can enlarge viewing angle, improve display quality and improve contrast with an easy manufacturing process and a high yield. SOLUTION: A pair of substrates is provided with an interposed liquid crystal layer comprising a liquid crystal material exhibiting nematic phase at least within a specified temp. range and having negative dielectric anisotropy. A homeotropic alignment layer is located on the surface adjacent to the liquid crystal layer of each of the substrates 1, 2. Each of the alignment layers on the substrates 1, 2 is divided into two alignment regions with directions of pretilt different from each other by about 180 deg.. The two substrates 1, 2 are stuck with each other so as to make a boundary of the alignment regions on one substrate 1 and a boundary of the alignment regions on the other substrate 2 are at right angle with each other to form four alignment regions. |
