PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid crystal display device having a bright picture at a low cost by making the device a structure where the face coming into contact with a color filter of a non-conductive layer flattens this color filter ad the face coming into contact with a liquid crystal layer controls the alignment of liquid crystal of this liquid crystal layer. SOLUTION: This device is made to a structure where the face coming into contact with a color filter of a non-conductive layer flattens this color filter flat and the face coming into contact with a liquid crystal layer controls the alignment of liquid crystal of this liquid crystal layer. In this case, linear electrodes 1 and 2 are formed in the inside of a pair of transparent substrates and alignment control films 4 are coated on these electrodes and are orientation- treated. A liquid crystal composition is held between them. Bar-shaped liquid crystal molecules 5 are so aligned that they have a slight angle to the lengthwise direction of electrodes 1 and 2 at the time of non-application of an electric field. When an electric field 7 is then applied, the direction of liquid crystal molecules is changed to the electric field direction. Consequently, a polarizing plate 6 is arranged in the direction 9 of the polarization axis of the polarizing plate to change the light transmittance by applying the electric field. |
