Patent ID: 8139189

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first alignment treatment substrate having a first substrate, a first electrode layer formed on the first substrate, and an oblique vapor deposition-alignment layer formed on the first electrode layer; a second alignment treatment substrate having a second substrate, a second electrode layer formed on the second substrate, an alignment layer for reactive liquid crystal formed on the second electrode layer, and a fixed liquid crystal layer which is formed on the alignment layer for reactive liquid crystal and obtained by fixing a reactive liquid crystal; and a ferroelectric liquid crystal held between the oblique vapor deposition-alignment layer of the first alignment treatment substrate and the fixed liquid crystal layer of the second alignment treatment substrate; in which the first alignment treatment substrate and the second alignment treatment substrate are provided such that the oblique vapor deposition-alignment layer and the fixed liquid crystal layer face each other, wherein the ferroelectric liquid crystal exhibits mono-stability, and further wherein a molecular direction of the ferroelectric liquid crystal is changed by about 2 times a tilt angle of the ferroelectric liquid crystal parallel to a surface of the first alignment treatment substrate when a negative voltage is applied to the second electrode layer.
