ACTIVE MATRIX TYPE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To embody a desired orientation state in the respective regions within respective pixels of an orientation division type panel and to improve its visual field angle characteristic. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal display element is formed by sealing liquid crystals between an active matrix substrate 1B having active elements 3 in the plural pixels 2 and a substrate 1A having common electrodes facing the same. In such a case, at least one substrate 1B has the plural regions varying in the orientation bearing or pretilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules. These regions are so formed that their boundaries do not overlap on the signal lines 14 of either row direction or column direction of the active matrix substrate 1B. The boundaries of the plural regions described above can exist within the pixels 2 in which the ruggedness of the stabler orientation state does not exits. The orientation of the respective regions are, therefore, stabilized and the divided orientations uniform over the entire part of the screen of the wide visual field angle panel having the plural orientation states in the pixels 2 are obtd.
