Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates, wherein the first substrate includes polymer walls comprising a transparent resin, wherein the liquid crystal layer has a plurality of first liquid crystal regions separated from one another by the polymer walls, wherein, as viewed from above, liquid crystal molecules in the plurality of first liquid crystal regions are aligned axially symmetrically around all lateral sides of first respective axes defined in the plurality of first liquid crystal regions in at least a voltage applied state, the first axes being vertical to a surface of the first substrate, and wherein, as viewed from above, liquid crystal molecules above the polymer walls are aligned axially symmetrically around all lateral sides of second respective axes defined above the polymer walls in at least a voltage applied state, the second axes being vertical to the surface of the first substrate.
