Horizontal alignment type liquid crystal display device and display device, method for producing horizontal alignment type liquid crystal display device, liquid crystal composition, and use of polymerizable compound as alignment control layer forming monomer

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display element in which an alignment film such as polyimide is previously formed on at least one of a pair of substrates, and a heating method is omitted in forming an alignment control layer of a liquid crystalline compound. And a horizontal alignment type liquid crystal display element having excellent horizontal alignment uniformity. A liquid crystal having a positive or negative dielectric anisotropy containing an alignment control layer forming monomer having a cis cyclohexane ring in a liquid crystal cell in which an alignment film such as polyimide is formed on at least one substrate. The composition is encapsulated, the liquid crystal compound is made to have a weak uniaxial horizontal alignment with respect to the substrate, and the liquid crystal compound is controlled to be strong uniaxial horizontal alignment by irradiating with ultraviolet light without heating.
