Liquid-crystal device and method of making the same

摘要

A liquid crystal display comprises glass cell walls 1 and 2 on which are formed alignment layers 3 and 4. The cell is filled with liquid crystal material, such as FLC material. At least one periodic alignment controlling layer (5,6) is disposed between a respective one of the alignment layers (3,4) and the liquid crystal material, thereby increasing resistance to mechanical damage.
