Reflective plate, production method therefor, liquid crystal device, and electronic device

A reflective-plate production method, comprising:

• forming a cholesteric liquid crystal layer on a substrate, said forming step including:
• applying a cholesteric liquid crystal monomer, said applying step including applying the cholesteric liquid crystal monomer in an isotropic state and then supercooling the applied cholesteric liquid crystal monomer, and polymerizing the applied cholesteric liquid crystal monomer.

A reflective-plate production method, comprising:

• forming a cholesteric liquid crystal layer on a substrate, said forming step including:
• applying a cholesteric liquid crystal monomer, and polymerizing the applied cholesteric liquid crystal monomer by ultraviolet irradiation, in said monomer polymerizing step, the ultraviolet dose having a distribution in the plane of said substrate when the ultraviolet irradiation is performed.

A reflective-plate production method, comprising:

• forming a cholesteric liquid crystal layer on a substrate;
• and
• forming an alignment layer on said substrate before said cholesteric liquid crystal layer forming step, said alignment layer being locally formed on said substrate.

A reflective-plate production method, comprising:

• forming a cholesteric liquid crystal layer on a substrate;
• and
• forming an alignment layer on said substrate before said cholesteric liquid crystal layer forming step, said alignment layer forming including stacking a homeotropic alignment layer and a homogeneous alignment layer, and partially removing one of said homeotropic alignment layer and said homogeneous alignment layer that is formed on the front side.
