<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal cell driven by lateral electric field in which the aperture ratio is more heightened than that in a conventional liquid crystal cell driven by lateral electric field. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal cell driven by lateral electric field is equipped with a pair of transparent substrates 1, 2 placed opposite to each other, a plurality of transparent members 4 arranged between the transparent substrates 1, 2, transparent electrodes 5a, 5b mounted on at least side faces of the transparent members 4, a liquid crystal 3 sandwiched and held between the transparent substrates 1, 2 and the transparent electrodes 5a, 5b, and a sealing materials 6, and has a construction in which each of the transparent members 4 is arranged on a contact face of at least one transparent substrate 1 and has a nearly constant shape of a cross-section in a direction vertical to the transparent member contact face, and the transparent electrodes 5a, 5b are electrically connected so as to apply a lateral electric field to the liquid crystal between mutually adjacent transparent electrodes 5a, 5b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
