A method for the orientation of liquid crystal - molecules in a liquid crystal - display cell with a large amount of compartment domains structure

摘要

A liquid crystal display cell comprising a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal material sandwiched between said pair of substrates, and an optical polarization memory film (5) provided on one or both of the substrates. The optical polarization memory film (5) is exposed by polarized lights (12) to produce a positive orientation means including multiple micro domains. In the micro domains, orientation direction is uniform in each domain and substantially isotropic as a whole. The visual angular dependency is eliminated. No rubbing treatment is done, and problems caused by rubbing can be solved.
