Liquid crystal display of multi-domain structure

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a pair of transparent substrates, each substrate having no uniform orientation direction, said substrates being arranged to oppose each other with a space therebetween, and said substrates jointly constituting display pixels having a standard observation direction;
• a liquid crystal layer of chiral nematic liquid crystal or nematic liquid crystal sandwiched between said pair of transparent substrates;
• an orientation of liquid crystal molecules of said liquid crystal layer being macroscopically omnidirectional with respect to directions in a plane parallel to said pair of substrates so that there is an equal probability of orientation of a molecule in each of a plurality of directions in said plane;
• said liquid crystal molecules providing a multiplicity of continuous micro-domains, each having one of a constant twist angle and no twist angle in a direction perpendicular to said plane parallel to said pair of substrates, and each of said micro-domains of said liquid crystal extending from one substrate to the other substrate;
• and
• a pair of polarizers disposed on both sides of said pair of transparent substrates and having polarization axes which are disposed in a predetermined mutual angular relationship, at least one of said polarizers having a transmission axis or absorption axis aligned with said standard observation direction.
