Abstract

A disclosed liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal composition contained in a cell having a liquid crystal alignment film. The liquid crystal alignment film has a lamellar structure and includes at least one type of a triphenylene compound (I) represented by general formula (1): In general formula (1), L represents —O— or —S—; R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 represent the same or different hydrocarbon radicals with 4 or more carbon atoms; R6 represents a divalent hydrocarbon radical with 4 or more carbon atoms; and R7 represents —SiR8R9R10 or —P(═O)(OH)2 where R8, R9, and R10 each individually represents —Cl, —OH, —OCH3, or —OC2H5.
