<p>PURPOSE:To make it possible to form reduce the size and weight of the above device in spite of a large capacity and to make the device easily visible by forming adjacent electrodes on the same substrate in such a manner that voltages of varying potential differences are impressed thereon and forming optical shutter parts of resin layers dispersed with liquid crystal grains. CONSTITUTION:The optical shutter parts 7 of the liquid crystal display device are composed of the resin layers dispersed with liquid crystal grains and the electrodes 8, 9 are formed on the substrate 1 in such a manner that the voltages of the varying potential differences are impressed to the adjacent electrodes 8, 9. The on and off action of the optical shutters 7 is driven by the electric fields in the cross direction between the adjacent electrodes. Namely, the liquid crystals are oriented in random directions and are made opaque at the time of the off. The liquid crystals are oriented in the electric field direction and are made transparent and the light is intercepted or transmitted at the time of the on. Since the optical shutter parts 7 are the hard resin layers dispersed with the liquid crystal grains, there is no need for clamping the liquid crystals with two sheets of the conventional substrates and further, the driving electrodes 8, 9 are formed on the same substrate and, therefore, the necessary substrate 1 is one sheet. The reduction of the thickness is thus possible.</p> |
