Patent ID: 8786811

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first polarizing plate provided with a first substrate, the first polarizing plate having a first polarization axis along a first direction; a second polarizing plate provided with a second substrate, the second polarizing plate having a second polarization axis along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of first structure bodies provided with the first substrate on a liquid crystal layer side, the plurality of first structure bodies projecting into the liquid crystal layer; a plurality of second structure bodies provided with the first substrate on the liquid crystal layer side, the plurality of second structure bodies projecting into the liquid crystal layer; a first electrode layer covering top surfaces and side surfaces of the plurality of first structure bodies; and a second electrode layer covering top surfaces and side surfaces of the plurality of second structure bodies, wherein a first interface between the side surfaces of the first structure bodies and the first electrode layer, and a second interface between the side surfaces of the second structure bodies and the second electrode layer are substantially parallel to the first direction or the second direction.
