Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device characterized in that molecules of liquid crystal interposed between first and second substrates, which are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner, are arranged in the vertical direction with respect to the substrate at the time of applying no voltage, and the liquid crystal display device further includes a plurality of protruding portions which are scattered on a surface of one substrate in contact with the liquid crystal in respective pixel regions, and projecting portions or recessed portions which are provided about these protruding portions, the projecting portions or the recessed portions being substantially aligned with the directions of respective polarization axes of one polarizer, which is provided to a surface of one substrate at a side opposite to a liquid crystal side, and of another polarizer, which is provided to a surface of the other substrate at a side opposite to a liquid crystal side.
