Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device has a TFT substrate, a color filter (CF) substrate, a liquid crystal layer, wall structures formed on the TFT substrate, pixel electrodes provided on at least the sides of the wall structures, and common electrodes and counter electrodes formed on the TFT substrate and on the CF substrate to face each other, and a number of pixels are provided to include the TFT substrate, the CF substrate and the liquid crystal layer, wherein a light blocking region is provided around each of the number of pixels, each wall structure is arranged in the light blocking region, a support formed of a transparent and elastic material is arranged on an upper surface of each wall structure, the CF substrate is supported by the supports, and the liquid crystal layer is driven by electrical fields generated by the pixel electrodes, the common electrodes and the counter electrodes.
Abstract:
A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a first polarization element film which is directly formed on a surface of the second substrate on a side opposite to a side where the first substrate is arranged, and a first polarization layer which is formed in contact with a surface of the first polarization element film on a side opposite to a side where the second substrate is arranged. The first polarization element film is made of an aligned lyotropic liquid crystal material, and the first protective layer is made of a material having a refractive index smaller than a refractive index of the first polarization element film in a transmission axis direction, and has a thickness smaller than a thickness of the first polarization element film.
