PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability while maintaining uniformity of a display by disposing an optical element at a specified distance from the outermost surface of a liquid crystal cell without adhering the optical element. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal element is composed of substrates 1, 2 of about 100μm thickness having flexibility such as PC and has a laminated structure of a gas barrier layer, surface treatment layer, etc. Transparent electrodes 3 such as indium tin oxide(ITO) are formed on the substrate surfaces facing each other, and an orienting film 4 comprising a soluble polyimide or the like is formed on the transparent electrode 3, and the surface of the film 4 is subjected to orientation treatment to align a liquid crystal, the upper and lower substrates 1, 2 are adhered with a sealing agent 6 comprising an epoxy adhesive or the like with a space holding member 5 interposed. The space is filled with a nematic liquid crystal 7 and sealed to constitute a liquid crystal cell. A sealing agent 13 comprising an epoxy adhesive or the like is applied by printing on the peripheral part of the obtd. liquid crystal cell, and polarizing elements 9, 10 are fixed while 6μm distance is maintained. |
