Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: an element substrate having a plurality of dot regions, each dot region including a pixel electrode and a switching element; an opposite substrate opposing the element substrate; and a liquid crystal layer between the element substrate and the opposite substrate, the liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy, the initial alignment of molecules of the liquid crystal being vertical; at least one of the plurality of dot regions being provided with a dielectric structure on at least one of an inner side of the element substrate and the opposite substrate, the dielectric structure being located in the same position as the corresponding switching element in plan view; the plurality of dot regions being provided with different colors of colorant layers and constituting color pixels, and different dielectric structures having different shapes or sizes; and the area of the corresponding dielectric structure increasing as the visibility of the colorant layer decreases.
