Abstract:
A liquid crystal display in which a liquid crystal is sealed in between a first substrate and a second substrate which are opposed to each other in a parallel relationship, with a pair of conductive elements being arranged on the first substrate so as to form an electric field in a direction parallel to the substrate and in which in response to an electric field arising from a potential difference between the pair of conductive elements, a direction of the major axes of molecules of the liquid crystal is turned to the direction substantially parallel to a surface of one substrate to thereby obtain a contrast for performing a display, whereinon said first substrate, there are arranged a first electrode and a second electrode, a non-linear resistance element placed at an intersection between a part of said first electrode and a part of said second electrode, and said pair of conductive elements including an isolated third electrode and said second electrode, and whereinon a surface of said second substrate confronting said first substrate, there is disposed a counter electrode extending in a perpendicular direction intersecting said first electrode, said counter electrode being opposed to a portion of said third electrode on said first substrate, and whereinbetween said counter electrode and said portion of said third electrode, which are opposed to each other, there are disposed conductive members for electrically connecting said counter electrode and said third electrode with each other in said liquid crystal.
