Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate, disposed to be opposite to the first substrate; a first vertical electrode, disposed at an inner side of the first substrate and facing the second substrate; a second vertical electrode, disposed at an inner side of the second substrate and facing the first vertical electrode, the electrical potentials of the second vertical electrode and the first vertical electrode being different thereby generating a vertical electric field perpendicular to the first substrate and the second substrate; a first pixel electrode, disposed at an inner side of the first substrate and facing the second substrate; a first counter electrode, disposed at the inner side of the first substrate, the electrical potentials of the first pixel electrode and the first electrode being different thereby generating a horizontal electric field between the first pixel electrode and the first counter electrode, the horizontal electric field being parallel to the first and second substrates; and a liquid crystal layer, disposed between the first and second substrate, the liquid crystal layer comprising a polymer stabilized positive blue phase liquid crystal.
