Abstract
The present invention provides a polymerizable compound represented by Formula (I): ##STR1## where X represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; 1 represents an integer in the range of 0 to 14; m represents 0 or 1; n represents 0 or 1; p represents an integer in the range of 0 to 6; and q represents an integer in the range of 0 to 9, wherein m is 0 under the condition 1=0, and 1 under the condition 1.noteq.0.
Claims9
A polymerizable compound represented by Formula (I):
- ##STR38## where x represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group;
- 1 represents an integer in the range of 0 to 14;
- m represents 0 or 1;
- n represents 0 or 1;
- p represents 0 an integer in the range of 0 to 6!;
- and q represents an integer in the range of 3 to 7,
- wherein m is 0 under the condition 1=0, and 1 under the condition 1.noteq.0.
A liquid crystal display device including a pair of substrates, at least one of the substrates being transparent, and a liquid crystal layer having a liquid crystal region surrounded by a polymer region, the liquid crystal layer being interposed between the pair of substrates, wherein the polymer region is formed from a monomer at least comprising the polymerizable compound represented by formula (I):
- ##STR39## where x represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group;
- 1 represents an integer in the range of 0 to 14:
- m represents 0 or 1 n represents 0 or 1:
- p represents an integer in the range of 0 to 6;
- and q represents an integer in the range of 0 to 9,
- wherein m is 0 under the condition 1=0, and 1 under the condition 1.noteq.0.
