Assignee: JAPAN DISPLAY INC.
Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A display device comprising:
a first substrate comprising a first transparent substrate, and a pixel electrode disposed in each of a plurality of pixels on the first transparent substrate;
a second substrate comprising a second transparent substrate having a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, and a common electrode disposed over the pixels; and
a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and including a stripe-shaped polymer and liquid crystal molecules, wherein
the liquid crystal layer has a first region which is closer to the first side surface than to the second side surface, and a second region which is closer to the second side surface than to the first side surface and is located between the second side surface and the first region,
in the first region, a first director of a first liquid crystal molecule located in a first distance from the first transparent substrate and a first extension axis of the polymer located in the first distance from the first transparent substrate form a first intersection angle,
in the second region, a second director of a second liquid crystal molecule located in the first distance from the first transparent substrate and a second extension axis of the polymer located in the first distance from the first transparent substrate form a second intersection angle, and
when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer, the first intersection angle is different from the second intersection angle.
