PURPOSE:To provide a liq. crystal orienting film having uniform liq. crystal orienting property almost free from defects and capable imparting a desired pretilt angle to a liq. crystal without adopting diagonal vapor deposition or rubbing. CONSTITUTION:When a liq. crystal element is composed essentially of a pair of substrates 1 with electrode layers 12 and a liq. crystal 2 sealed between the substrates 1, a thin film 13 for bringing the liq. crystal 2 into homogeneous (homeotropic) orientation is formed on each of the substrates 1 and a liq. crystal orienting film 14 is further formed on the thin film 13 by laminating one or more layers of an amphipatic substance for bringing the liq. crystal 2 into homeotropic (homogeneous) orientation by the Langmuir-Blodgett's method.
