PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To hold a cell gap uniform without exerting any influence on the orientation of liquid crystal as to the liquid crystal element using chiral smectic liquid crystal. SOLUTION: On a substrate 12, striped transparent electrodes 14 are formed, striped partition wall members 15 are formed of acryl-based photosensitive resin in the gaps between the electrodes 14, and after raw materials forming functional films 17 are applied over the entire surfaces of the members 15, the raw materials sticking on upper end parts 152 of the partition wall members 15 are removed to obtain the substrate having the functional films 17 formed on only the flank parts 151 of the partition wall members 15 and the electrodes 14; and this substrate is stuck on the other substrate 11 having a transparent electrode 13 and an orientation film 16 formed and liquid crystal is injected to obtain the optical element. The functional films are formed on the flank parts of the partition wall members and not formed on the upper end parts, so orientation disorder of the liquid crystal caused by the partition member flank parts as kernels is prevented and no function film is formed on the upper end parts, so the contact with the other substrate is high and the strength is improved. |
