Abstract:
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal region surrounded by a polymer material, comprising the steps of:attaching a pair of substrates to each other, each having at least an electrode film;disposing a precursor mixture containing a liquid crystal material, a polymerizable resin material and a polymerization initiator, between the pair of substrates;precipitating a liquid crystal droplet by varying a temperature of the precursor mixture;growing the precipitated liquid crystal droplet;curing the polymerizable resin material at a temperature at which the liquid crystal droplet is 80% or more of a size of a pixel and is independently present within a pixel region; andapplying an external field across the pair of substrates at some time during the curing of the polymerizable resin material to provide a pre-tilt angle for the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal droplet.
