TRANSVERSE ELECTRIC FIELD-TYPE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE COMPRISING A NANOSCALE LIQUID CRYSTAL LAYER

摘要

The present invention relates to a transverse electric field-type liquid crystal display device comprising a nanoscale liquid crystal layer. The aim of the present invention is to provide a novel transverse electric field-type liquid crystal display device which is based on a nanoscale liquid crystal layer so as to significantly simplify processes for manufacturing a display panel, which can be produced from a single backplane substrate having pixel electrodes formed thereon, and which has characteristics highly that are suitable for implementing a flexible display. The transverse electric field-type liquid crystal display device having a nanoscale liquid crystal display layer according to the present invention comprises: a substrate; a transverse electric field-type electrode layer formed on an upper surface of the substrate; a nanoscale liquid crystal layer formed on the electrode layer; a first polarizer arranged on a lower surface of the substrate; and a second polarizer arranged on the nanoscale liquid crystal layer. The nanoscale liquid crystal layer is configured such that nanoscale liquid crystal domains, the diameter of each of which is smaller than a visible light wavelength range, are distributed within a polymeric matrix.
