<p>PURPOSE: To improve a display grade by suppressing the dependency on a visual field angle. CONSTITUTION: This liquid crystal display element has a first electrode 22 having plural pieces of parallel wire-shaped electrode parts 18 formed on one substrate 16, a second electrode 28 having plural pieces of parallel wire-shaped electrode parts arranged between the respective wire-shaped electrode parts and a switching element 30. The pretilt angle of oriented films is <=3 deg. and the orientation directionγof the oriented films and the longitudinal direction of the wire-shaped electrode parts are parallel. An inter-electrode spacing G and the spacing D between both substrates satisfy the following equation: 0.5<=G/D<=3.0. Then, this element is not of a type to erect or lay liquid crystals by a change in electric fields and, therefore, the degradation in transmittance by a difference in the refractive index between the major axis direction and minor axis direction of the liquid crystals hardly arises. The dependency on the visual field angle is thus suppressed and the display grade is improved.</p> |
