Abstract:
A display device comprising:a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer provided between said substrates; a first orientation control layer provided over one of said substrates; a first stripe region provided in said first orientation control layer and extending in a prescribed direction and having a first orientation; a second stripe region provided in said first orientation control layer and extending in said prescribed direction and having a second orientation; a second orientation control layer provided over the other of said substrates; a third stripe region provided in said second orientation control layer and extending in said prescribed direction and having a third orientation; and a fourth stripe region provided in said second orientation control layer and extending in said prescribed direction and having a fourth orientation, wherein a first image is displayed by optical modulation associated with said first stripe region and said third stripe region, wherein a second image is displayed by optical modulation associated with said second stripe region and said fourth stripe region, wherein said first image and said second image have different polarization directions from each other, wherein said first orientation and said second orientation and said third orientation and said fourth orientation are oblique to said prescribed direction, wherein said first orientation makes an opposite angle with respect to said prescribed direction to an angle made by said second orientation with respect to said prescribed direction, and wherein said third orientation makes an opposite angle with respect to said prescribed direction to an angle made by said fourth orientation with respect to said prescribed direction.
