On a first substrate constituting a liquid crystal display there are disposed a first electrode (13) and a second electrode (14), a non-linear resistance element (9) being placed at an intersection between a part of the first electrode and a part of the second electrode, an isolated island-like third electrode (16) constituting an electrode pair in conjunction with the second electrode (14). On a second substrate there is disposed an counter electrode (15) extending in the perpendicular direction intersecting the first electrode (13), the counter electrode (15) being opposed to a portion (16a) of the third electrode on the first substrate to accommodate therebetween conductive beads (7) for electrically connecting the counter electrode (15) and the third electrode (16) with each other in a liquid crystal. Then, by applying a voltage between the first electrode (13) and the counter electrode (15), a voltage is applied between the second electrode (14) and the third electrode (16) by way of the non-linear resistance element (9) and the conductive beads (7), thereby generating an electric field in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate to turn molecules of the liquid crystal to the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate, to generate a contrast for display. <IMAGE> |
