PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a multidomain structure so as to increase the angle of visual field and to decrease contamination or orientation defects in a liquid crystal by forming two pairs of small transparent electrodes perpendicular to each other on a transparent electrode of a substrate, generating electric fields parallel to the substrate and perpendicular to each other by the small transparent electrodes to form domains in the liquid crystal. SOLUTION: This element has electrodes 102, 103 on a transparent electrode film 101 to surround a liquid crystal in a pixel in such a manner that electric fields are generated parallel to the substrate 105 and perpendicular to each other. A nematic liquid crystal having positive anisotropy of the dielectric const. is injected between the substrates. When electric fields parallel to the substrate 105 are generated by the small transparent electrodes 102, 103 formed on the transparent electrode film 101, such liquid crystal domains are formed that the liquid crystal near the substrate surface is aligned along the electric field in each domain. Thereby, the liquid crystal director in the middle of the liquid crystal layer is aligned in various directions, which enables compensation for visual difference due to the double refraction and realizes a display of a wide angle of visual field. Moreover, contamination due to rubbing treatment is not caused. |
