The present invention relates to a liquid crystal device of the type which comprises a pair of substrates (1a, 1b), and a liquid crystal (5) provided between the paired substrates (1a, 1b) wherein fine domains whose threshold voltages for switching the liquid crystal (5) are different from one another are finely distributed in said liquid crystal (5). In this liquid crystal device, fine particles (10) are added to said liquid crystal (5), whereby said fine domains whose threshold voltages are different from one another are formed.
摘要:
A liquid crystal display device having fast response characteristics and enabling analog gray-scaleal display is provided. The liquid crystal display device is formed of a liquid crystal material having the chiral smectic C phase. The projection component on the substrates of the axial direction (Z) of a cone delineated by a liquid crystal molecule (3), and the projection component on the substrates of the axial direction (D) of the liquid crystal molecule itself (3), are adapted to be coincident with the processing direction for uniaxial orientation of the substrates, this state being monostabled as the initial state. On application of an electrical field, the liquid crystal molecule (3) is rotated along the cone and the apparent tilt angle (ϑ) as viewed on the substrate surface is continuously changed in accordance with the strength of the applied electrical field. The intensity of the transmitted light is increased continuously with increasing tilt angle to obtain the continuous gray-scale or analog gray-scale.
