Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a substrate; a dielectric layer; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the substrate and the dielectric layer; a plurality of stripe-shaped electrodes formed on a surface of the substrate facing the liquid crystal layer to extend in parallel with a first direction; and a plurality of stripe-shaped plasma channels formed to face the plurality of electrodes with the liquid crystal layer and the dielectric lay therebetween to extend in parallel with a second direction different from the first direction, a plurality of pixel regions being formed at respective crossings of the plurality of electrodes and the plurality of plasma channels, wherein the dielectric layer selectively attenuates ultraviolet rays emitted from the plurality of plasma channels, wherein an ultraviolet transmittance of the dielectric layer is 70% or less for a wavelength range of 340 nm or less and 80% or more fork wavelength of 365 nm.
