<p>PURPOSE:To improve initial orientability by providing plural structural members having side walls to one substrate into a stripe shape, subjecting the other substrate to an orientation treatment in the direction parallel with or perpendicu lar to the extension direction of said members and using a specific liquid crystal compsn. CONSTITUTION:The structural members 104 having the stripe-shaped side walls 106, 107 are disposed to one substrate 101 of a pair of electrode substrates 101, 110. The other substrate 110 is subjected to a uniaxial orientation treatment and the treatment direction thereof is controlled to the direction parallel or orthogonal with the extension direction of the members 104. The liquid crystal compsn. incorporated therein with one kind of a liquid crystal of which the phase transfers from a Ch phase to an SmA phase and Sm* phase in the course of a temp. fall and at least one kind of a liquid crystal of which the phase transfers from the Ch phase to the Sm* phase in the course of the temp. fall is used. The Sm phase is formed by the phase transfer from the higher temp. side than the Sm phase. The defect at the spacer edge is eliminated by such constitution even in the storage state in which the defect is particularly liable to appear.</p> |
