Liquid crystal display having liquid crystal layers alternately stacked with insulating layers with a thickness of at most 5 microns

摘要

An LCD having quick response time and sharp contrast provides for a dense white display when using a reflective-type LCD and the desired color density when using a backlight. This LCD is made up of a plurality of field-effect type liquid crystal layers alternately stacked with light-transmitting electrically insulating material layers. The thickness of each liquid crystal layer is desirably less than 3 mu m, and that of each electrically insulating material layer is desirably less than 5 mu m. The electrically insulating material employs a semiconductor, a metal oxide, or a light-transmitting electrically insulating resin including epoxy resin and acryl resin. The field-effect type LCD is desirably a nematic, phase-transition or ferroelectric type LCD. The total thickness of the LCD is desirably more than 1 mu m. A manufacturing method of the LCD and a display apparatus using the LCD are also provided, for use in large-screen display, televisions, personal computers, timepieces or pocket calculator screens.
