Patent ID: 8248574

Claim:
A liquid crystal display element, comprising: a first substrate having a first electrode on one surface thereof; a transparent second substrate having a transparent second electrode on one surface thereof and being opposed to the first substrate such that the first electrode and the transparent second electrode are opposed to each other; a first liquid crystal layer containing a first liquid crystal composition and disposed between the first substrate and the transparent second substrate; a color filter disposed between the first substrate and the transparent second substrate, the color filter being disposed at a transparent second substrate side of the first liquid crystal layer; and a second liquid crystal layer containing a second liquid crystal composition and disposed between the first substrate and the transparent second substrate, and the second liquid crystal layer being disposed directly adjacent to a transparent second substrate side of the color filter, at least one of the first and second liquid crystal layers comprising an additive having dielectric properties, the dielectric constant of the first liquid crystal layer being different from that of the second liquid crystal layer.
