PURPOSE:To obtain the titled element capable of preventing a defect of the layer structure of the liquid crystal due to an unevenness of a seal from entering into an image element by providing a bank which has at least a less uneven surface than the uneven surface of the seal at an inside of the seal on a part of the inside of the seal which is facing to a direction of the liquid crystal layer. CONSTITUTION:The transparent electrodes 14, 15 are mounted on the confronting surfaces of a pair of the substrates 11, 12 respectively. The bank 16 composed of a photosensitive polyimide is mounted on one side of the pair substrates 11, 12 by means of the photoetching to prevent the defect of the layer structure of the liquid crystal. Polyimide is coated on the another one of the substrates as the orientation film, followed by rubbing the orientation film in a direction almost parallel to that of the bank 16 by the rubbing method. Finally, the sealing agent made of an epoxy resin is mounted at an outer circumference 13 of the upper and lower substrates by means of a printing method, and the titled element is fixed, and a smectic liquid crystal is poured between the substrates. The direction of the layer of the liquid crystal is facing to the blank 16 so as to be almost vertical to the rubbing direction of the orientation film. The defect of the layer structure generates to between the seal 13 and the bank 16 in an appearance. Thus, the prescribed defect does not generates in the image element placed at the inside of the seal 13, thereby obtaining the excellent orientation having uniformity.
