LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a liquid crystal display with high reliability by simply and certainly improving display characteristics without bringing about inconvenience to the display such as image persistence or the like. SOLUTION: By subjecting an injected liquid crystal to UV irradiation or heat treatment while applying a specified voltage, the monomer is polymerized and a polymer structured body 13a controlled by an alignment pattern of a slit 15a is formed on surface layers (surfaces of vertical alignment layers 16a, 16b) of a liquid crystal layer 13. Liquid crystal molecules are aligned following the alignment pattern under control of the polymer. In this case, average roughness of a surface of the polymer structured body 13a is controlled to be 10 nm or less. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
