PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain excellent display quality and to reduce the dependency of display quality on a visual angle direction by allowing axially symmetric orientation domain to have specified aspect ratio. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal display element 30 is provided with a liquid crystal layer 32 consisting of a liquid crystal area 23 surrounded by high molecular area 24 between a pair of base plates 31a and 31b. The pair of base plates 31a and 31b is provided with an electrode for impressing voltage on the liquid crystal layer 32 on the liquid crystal layer 32 side thereof. The liquid crystal area 23 is the axial symmetric orientation domain and the aspect ratio of the domain is set larger than 1:1 and equal to or under 1:6. By impressing the voltage on liquid crystal molecules LC oriented to be axially symmetric, the liquid crystal molecules LC are oriented to be parallel with the direction of electric field while keeping the axial symmetricity. Thus, apparent transmissivity is averaged in all the visual angle directions (for instance, in the visual angle directions A and B), so that the dependence ability of the display quality on the visual angle direction is reduced. |
