Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate, said first substrate being disposed opposite said second substrate and being disposed a first distance apart, each of said substrates having an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the inner surfaces of the substrates, said liquid crystal layer including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules; a first electrode formed on the inner surface of the first substrate, said first electrode having a first width; and a second electrode formed on the inner surface of the first substrate, said second electrode having a second width, and spaced apart from said first electrode by a second distance, said first electrode and said second electrode being capable of aligning the liquid crystal molecules using an electric field produced between said first electrode and said second electrode, wherein the first and second electrodes are made of a transparent conductor, and the first distance is greater in length than the second distance.
