The purpose is to provide a liquid crystal alignment layer of a multidomain alignment type, winch is excellent in an alignment control characteristic and durability, and to provide a multidomain type liquid crystal display device, which has a high image quality a high contrast a wide viewing angle and an excellent response, by using this liquid crystal alignment layer. This purpose can be actualized by a liquid crystal alignment layer manufactured in the following method: using a chemical adsorbate comprising a photosensitive group, a silicon, and a linear carbon chain or a linear siloxane combined chain; forming a thin film in a monolayer by chemisorbing the chemical adsorbate on a surface of a substrate with a display electrode; additionally, inclining an adsorbed molecule composing the thin film in a particular direction; later, crosslinking the adsorbed molecule to each other at its photosensitive group part by irradiating a patterned polarized light; and making an inclination and/or an alignment direction of a major axis of a molecule composing the thin film to the substrate plane differ in each of a plurality of divided sections into which a pixel is divided.

Before starting the regular display in a liquid crystal display device of the bend alignment type, it is necessary to transition all the pixel regions in the entire display portion uniformly from splay alignment into bend alignment. However, conventionally, when applying a simple ac voltage, the transition sometimes does not take place, and when it does take place, the transition time is very long, and display defects due to alignment defects tend to occur. In the method for driving a liquid crystal display device with OCB cells according to the present invention, a step of applying between an electrode 22 and a pixel electrode 23 an ac voltage superimposed with a bias voltage, and a step of applying zero voltage or a low voltage to the substrates are repeated in alternation preceding the begin of the regular display operation and the regular display operation is carried out after all pixels have transitioned into bend alignment.

摘要:
In a liquid crystal display element particularly that having a mode wherein the display operation is performed by controlling the amount of birefringence of the liquid crystal layer, such as an OCB type liquid crystal display element, the contrast is improved. This is achieved by the following: the reflection of light that occurs inside the element is reduced, the reflected light resulting from the difference in the refractive indices between materials for the boundary surfaces of the portions inside the element is reduced, and the internal light, such as light from the backlight, is directed toward the direction orthogonal to the surfaces of the substrates. More specifically, a light absorbing material may be used in portions of a black matrix, active elements, and wirings formed on at least one of the substrates.
