PURPOSE:To provide the simple matrix type liquid crystal display device which has high uniformity of display and is good in visual angle characteristic by arranging scanning electrode groups and signal electrode groups so as to impress electric fields parallel with substrate surfaces to a liquid crystal compsn. layer. CONSTITUTION:A wire-shaped signal electrode 1 and scanning electrode 2 are formed on the inner side of a pair of transparent substrates 3, 3 and orientation controlled films 4 are formed thereon. Bar-shaped liquid crystal molecules 5 clamped between the substrates 3 and 3 are so oriented as to have some angle with the longitudinal direction of the wire-shaped electrodes 1, 2 at the time of not impressing electric fields thereto. The angles formed of the electric field direction 7 with the surfaces of the substrates 3 are preferably <=20 deg. and substantially parallel. The light transmittance is changed by arranging a polarizing plate 6 at a prescribed angle 9. The liquid crystal molecules do not rise from the substrate surfaces with this constitution, and, therefore, there is no need for largely changing the tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules and the unequal display is lessened according to such constitution. |
