摘要:
An optical writing type liquid crystal display device is provided with: two twisted nematic liquid crystal cells, each of which has a direction different from each other on twist; a first glass substrate disposed in one liquid crystal cell; and a second glass substrate disposed in another liquid crystal cell. The second glass substrate is laminated to the first glass substrate adjacent to the second glass substrate so as to be at right angles with each other on rubbing directions of the glass substrates. The two twisted nematic liquid crystal cells are arranged such that a polarization axis of a reading light incident onto the two twisted nematic liquid crystal cells is not coincident with the rubbing directions of the two twisted nematic liquid crystal cells.
摘要:
The twisted nematic liquid crystal display device of this invention relates to a liquid crystal cell having a twisted spiral structure by disposing a pair of substrates opposedly to each other with the rubbed orientation films formed on the electrodes, placing a nematic liquid crystal having a positive dielectric anisotrophy containing an optically active substance between this pair of substrates, and shifting the orientation direction of the liquid crystal molecules by a specified angle of .phi. on both substrates, in which the angle .phi. is set in a range of 210.degree..ltoreq..phi..ltoreq.300.degree., and the ratio d/p of the spiral pitch p of the liquid crystal molecules to layer thickness d of the liquid crystal cell is set in a range of (.phi./360-1/4)
