Estimating the term…
A liquid crystal display device produced through the steps of injecting a polymerizable monomer-containing liquid crystal composition between two substrates and, while applying a voltage between opposing transparent electrodes of the substrates, polymerizing the monomer, wherein the polymerizable monomer contained in the liquid crystal composition has one or more ring or condensed ring structures and functional groups bonded directly to the ring or condensed ring structure. The monomer is preferably represented by the following general formula: P1-A1-(Z1-A2)n-P2 wherein P1 and P2 are acrylates or the like, A1 and A2 are 1,4-phenylenes or the like, Z1 is —COO— or the like, and n is 0 to 2.
A liquid crystal display device having two substrates each equipped with a transparent electrode and an alignment control film for aligning liquid crystal molecules, and comprising a liquid crystal composition between the substrates, the device being produced through the steps of injecting a polymerizable monomer-containing liquid crystal composition between the two substrates and while applying a voltage between the opposing transparent electrodes of the substrates, polymerizing said monomer, wherein the polymerizable monomer contained in said liquid crystal composition has one or more ring or condensed ring structures and two functional groups bonded directly to said ring or condensed ring structure;
