Patent ID: 7295270

Claim:
A method of fabricating a reflection-type liquid crystal display device comprising a first substrate, a second substrate provided so as to face said first substrate, said second substrate carrying thereon projections and depressions having a reflectivity, a liquid crystal layer having a negative dielectric anisotropy provided between said first and second substrates, and an optically polymerized polymer structure provided between said first and second substrates, said method comprising the steps of: causing optical polymerization of a compound constituting said polymer structure by irradiating light perpendicularly to said second substrate and causing reflection of said light by said projections and depressions in an in-plane direction of said second substrate; said step of causing optical polymerization is conducted by providing an in-plane directivity to the light reflected by said projections and depressions by a optimizing a shape of said projections and depressions, such that said optical polymerization is conducted in a direction corresponding to said in-plane directivity.
