Liquid crystal electro-optical device having a plurality of micro- domains formed in the chiral smectic liquid crystal layer

摘要

A liquid crystal display comprises a pair of substrates provided with an electrode arrangement in matrix form. A chiral smectic C phase liquid crystal material is interposed between the substrates. In the liquid crystal layer, each pixel consists of a number of micro- domains which can be compared to polycrystal line structures. Interaction between adjacent pixels through well ordered liquid crystal structure is suppressed by virtue of the micro-domains.
