Liquid crystal display apparatus having a random orientation alignment film and a method for producing the same.

摘要

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes: a pair of substrates held at a distance; a pair of electrodes formed on opposing inner faces of the substrates, respectively; alignment films formed on the opposing faces to cover the pair of electrodes, respectively, the alignment films having capability to align a liquid crystal in a horizontal orientation and capability to align the liquid crystal in a random orientation at a predetermined temperature or more; and a chiral nematic liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of alignment film, the chiral nematic liquid crystal layer having a plurality of microscopic domains, each of the microscopic domains having the liquid crystal molecules aligned uniformly in the vicinity of the alignment films, the liquid crystal molecules in different microscopic regions being arranged in different directions with respect to one another. <IMAGE>
