<p>PURPOSE:To eliminate orientation defects to obtain a uniform monodomain liquid crystal phase by forming a ferroelectric liquid crystal element so that a ratio of intervals S of picture elements of color filters to a thickness (d) of a substrate on which the color filter is formed is equal to or smaller than 0.1 CONSTITUTION:A color ferroelectric liquid crystal element 1 has substrates 1a and 1b consisting of transparent plates like glass plates, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal 7 is held between them. Stripe transparent electrodes 3 and 4 forming a matrix electrode structure are arranged on substrates 1a and 1b, and orientation control films 5 and 6 are formed on electrodes 3 and 4. R(red), G(green), and B(blue) color filters 2 forming respective color picture elements are formed on the outside of the observer-side substrate 1a with organic dyes or the like having desired R, G, and B characteristics. Since the intervals S of picture elements and the thickness (d) of the substrate 1a are set to satisfy S/d<=0.1, color mixture does not occur and the ferroelectric liquid crystal element free from orientation defects is obtained.</p> |
