LIQUID CRYSTAL ELEMENT AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ORIENTATION OF LIQUID CRYSTAL, AND CARRIER TRANSPORT ELEMENT AND LIGHT EMISSION ELEMENT USING THE LIQUID CRYSTAL ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To employ a high oriented liquid crystal structure and to provide a carrier transport element and a light emission element by using the liquid crystal element. SOLUTION: An orientation control layer having a uniaxial orientation regulation force is selectively formed on a substrate having an electrode, and a liquid crystal thereon is applied. By gradually cooling from an isotropic phase, transition from a region coming in contact with the orientation contorl layer to a liquid crystal phase occurs. A liquid crystal phase transition region is enlarged along the regulation axis of a uniaxial orientation regulation force to provide a high degree orientation state.
