A liquid crystal display device which includes a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the pair of substrates; and an electrode for applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer is disclosed. The liquid crystal layers includes liquid crystal molecules, and is divided into a plurality of regions having different twist angles from one another.
摘要:
A liquid crystal display has a liquid crystal layer that is sandwiched between a pair of electrode substrates in a manner so as to contact alignment films, and also has a liquid crystal display element having optical phase-difference plates placed on both sides thereof. The liquid crystal layer is divided into a first division-section and a second division-section that have different sizes and that are oriented by the alignment films in respectively different directions. Further, with respect to the first division-section that has the larger size, an optical phase difference plate is placed so that the index ellipsoid, which identifies the refractive-index anisotropy of the optical phase-difference plate, has an inclined direction to the optical phase-difference plate that is opposite to the pretilt direction of liquid crystal molecules located in the vicinity of the alignment films. Thus, since biased optical characteristics are properly compensated, viewing-angle characteristics in the case of inclined viewing angles can be improved. Consequently, it becomes possible to eliminate the occurrences of a gradation-inverting phenomenon in the up and down directions as well as right and left directions and a coloring phenomenon in the up and down direction, and consequently to improve contrast while eliminating display unevenness.

A method for producing a liquid crystal display apparatus, including a pair of substrates with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, includes forming an aligning film on at least one of the pair of substrates. The surface of the aligning film is made rough to adjust the pretilt angles of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer which are adjacent the aligning film. Further, the degrees of roughness are different among a plurality of prescribed regions.
