Patent ID: 7580100

Claim:
An aligning method of a ferroelectric liquid crystal display, comprising steps of: disposing a first mask and a second mask, each of which has opening regions and blocking regions arranged in alternating fashion in vertical direction and horizontal direction corresponding to liquid crystal cells of the liquid crystal display including a lower plate and an upper plate; and injecting a ferroelectric liquid crystal material within a liquid crystal panel; arranging the first mask on a first alignment film formed on the upper plate of the liquid crystal panel; rubbing the first alignment film of the upper plate through the first mask according to one rubbing direction; arranging the second mask on a second alignment film formed on the lower plate of the liquid crystal panel; and rubbing the second alignment film of the lower plate according to the one rubbing direction, wherein the opening regions of the first mask on the first alignment film corresponds to the blocking regions of the second mask on the second alignment film respectively, and the blocking regions of the first mask on the first alignment film corresponds to the opening regions of the second mask on the second alignment film respectively; wherein each of the opening regions is substantially the same area as a liquid crystal cell, the liquid crystal cell corresponding to an area of a pixel electrode; wherein the first alignment film of the upper plate and the second alignment film of the lower plate are rubbed according to the same rubbing direction; wherein after the upper and lower plates are assembled, the first and second alignment films have opposite rubbing directions in adjacent liquid crystal cells; and wherein the ferroelectric liquid crystal material in the adjacent liquid crystal cells is rotated to opposite spontaneous polarization direction.
