A liquid crystal display device which comprises an orientation film and at least one charge transporting material doped in the orientation film, the charge transporting material and an amount thereof being sufficient to cause a leakage of an electric charge temporarily accumulated in the orientation film or a portion adjacent thereto, during an operation of the device, to thereby inhibit a formation of an electric bilayer in the device. Since the formation of an electric bilayer is inhibited, a generation of crosstalk and reduction of display characteristics such as memory properties of the LC display device can be effectively prevented.
