Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:a pair of transparent electrode substrates, each of which includes: an insulating and transparent substrate; a plurality of electrodes disposed to form stripes on the substrate; and an orientating film to cover the electrodes, the electrode substrates being disposed to face each other so that the electrodes on one of the electrode substrates cross the electrodes on the other electrode substrate; andferroelectric liquid crystal injected between the electrode substrates,wherein one of the electrode substrates provided with more electrodes in a predetermined area than the other receives a uniaxial orientation treatment parallelly or almost parallel to a lengthwise direction of the electrodes thereof,the other electrode substrate receives a uniaxial orientation treatment perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly to a lengthwise direction of the electrodes thereof, andthe electrode substrates are disposed so that the orientation directions thereof become parallel or almost parallel to each other.
