PURPOSE:To increase the speed of response and to obtain a high contrast display using only one sheet of polarizing plate by disposing a light shielding body in the part corresponding to the base part of comb-type electrodes in either substrate of a transparent substrate provided with the comb-type electrodes and a transparent substrate provided with a counter electrode. CONSTITUTION:In a liquid crystal device which is sealed with dichromatic liquid crystals 5, has a transparent substrate 2 provided with transparent comb-type electrodes L0, L2 and a transparent substrate 3 having a transparent counter electrode L1, and is disposed with just one sheet of a polarizing plate P0 having the axis of polarization which is in parallel with the orientation direction of the liquid crystals 5 when applied with voltage between the electrodes L0 and L2, a light shielding body 6 is disposed on either of the outside or inside surface of the substrates 2, 3 corresponding to the base parts 6 of the electrodes L0, L2. The body 6 is a vapor-deposited metallic film or is provided by coating an opaque insulation resin or the like. Then when the liquid crystals 5 are forcibly oriented by applying voltage to the comb-type electrodes, the electric field direction in the base part 6 deviates from the directions of the electrodes L0, L2 and the liquid crystals 5 in the position of the part 6 prevent the passage of the light, whereby the on- and off-states of high contrast are obtained. |
