Abstract
A liquid crystal display is described which includes a pair of transparent substrates disposed opposite each other sandwiching a liquid crystal layer therebetween, with a transparent electrode and an alignment film formed on the liquid crystal layer side of each of the substrates. The transparent electrodes disposed opposite each other in pairs are at two or more different spacings at least within one display area of a pixel.
Claims5
A liquid crystal display comprising a pair of transparent substrates disposed opposite each other sandwiching a liquid crystal layer therebetween, with a transparent electrode and an alignment film formed on the liquid crystal layer side of each of said substrates, wherein said transparent electrodes disposed opposite each other in pairs are at three or more different spacings at least within one display area of a pixel, and wherein the liquid crystal layer includes TN liquid crystal material.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a pair of substrates;
- a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates:
- said liquid crystal layer comprising TN liquid crystal material;
- a first electrode disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the first electrode being transparent;
- a second electrode disposed between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the second electrode being transparent;
- a pair of alignment layers in contact with the liquid crystal layer;
- and
- one display area substantially covered by the first electrode and the second electrode;
- wherein a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode varies at three or more different spacings within the one display area of a pixel.
