Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal device capable of simultaneously displaying at least two images in different directions, the liquid crystal device comprising: a first substrate having a translucent property; a second substrate having a translucent property which is disposed opposite to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer with an orientation direction, the liquid crystal layer being is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer having a twist angle of approximately ninety degrees; a first polarizing plate with a first absorption axis, the first polarizing plate being opposed to the liquid crystal layer with the first substrate being disposed between the first polarizing plate and the liquid crystal layer; and a second polarizing plate with a second absorption axis, the second polarizing plate being opposed to the liquid crystal layer with the second substrate being disposed between the second polarizing plate and the liquid crystal layer, wherein the absorption axis of the first polarizing plate is shifted from the orientation direction of the liquid crystal layer by an angular amount of not less than one degree and not more than three degrees, and wherein the second absorption axis of the second polarizing plate is shifted from an orientation direction of the liquid crystal layer by an angular amount of not less than one degree and not more than three degrees.
