Patent ID: 8059255

Claim:
A fabricating method of a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of: forming an upper polarizer having a first light absorption axis on an upper substrate; forming a lower polarizer having a second light absorption axis on a lower substrate, the second light absorption axis being substantially parallel to the first light absorption axis; forming an electrode on each of the upper substrate and the lower substrate; forming an upper alignment film on the upper substrate; forming a lower alignment film on the lower substrate; forming a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer on at least one of the upper alignment film and the lower alignment film; and forming a nematic system liquid crystal layer on the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer, wherein the light absorption axes of the polarizers are substantially in parallel each other when the liquid crystal display device is viewed in a diagonal direction, wherein a first rubbing direction of the upper alignment film and a second rubbing direction of the lower alignment film are substantially the same as the first and second light absorption axes, wherein the liquid crystal display device drives in a normally white mode such that a transmissivity decreases as an external voltage to be applied to at least one of the electrodes increases, wherein the step of forming the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer includes the steps of: forming a ferroelectric liquid crystal solution by mixing a ferroelectric liquid crystal into a solvent, wherein the solution includes between about 93 wt % and 97 wt % of the ferroelectric liquid crystal and between about 3 wt % and 7 wt % of the solvent; spreading the solution over at least one of the upper substrate and the lower substrate; evaporating the solvent within the solution by heating the substrate; and aligning a spontaneous polarization direction of the ferroelectric liquid crystal using any one of a step of exposing the ferroelectric liquid crystal to a medium having high or low polarity, and applying a magnetic field to the ferroelectric liquid crystal.
