Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate supporting polymer walls comprising substantially transparent resin,
• a second substrate,
• a liquid crystal layer provided between the first and second substrates,
• first liquid crystal regions each located at least partially located between adjacent polymer walls,
• second liquid crystal regions each at least partially located between a top surface of one of the polymer walls and the second substrate, and
• wherein, as viewed from above, liquid crystal molecules in the second liquid crystal regions are aligned axially symmetrically around all lateral sides of respective axes that extend from the top surfaces of the polymer walls toward the second substrate.

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate supporting walls,
• a second substrate,
• a liquid crystal layer provided between at least the first and second substrates,
• a first liquid crystal region located at least partially between adjacent walls,
• wherein, as viewed from above in at least a voltage applied state, liquid crystal molecules in the first liquid crystal region are aligned axially symmetrically around all lateral sides of a first axis located between the adjacent walls, said first axis extending upwardly from the first substrate toward the second substrate,
• a second liquid crystal region at least partially located between a top of one of the adjacent walls and the second substrate, and
• wherein, as viewed from above, liquid crystal molecules in the second liquid crystal region are aligned axially symmetrically around all lateral sides of a second axis that extends from the top of one of the walls toward the second substrate.
