Embodiment 1

[0089] 1A and 1B are schematic diagrams of a typical structure of an LCD device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein Figure 1B is a plan view depicting a typical structure, Figure 1A is along the Figure 1B The cross-sectional view taken by the line x-x' in.

[0090] The LCD device includes a pair of substrates such as glass substrates 1 and 2 with a liquid crystal layer 9 interposed therebetween. A sealing member (not shown) for sealing the liquid crystal layer 9 is provided between the substrates 1 and 2 . Columnar spacers are provided at predetermined positions of the liquid crystal layer 9 between the substrates 1 and 2 .

[0091] On the inner surface of the glass substrate 2 facing the liquid crystal layer 9, a strip-shaped signal electrode 4 (made of ITO transparent electrode film, for example) is provided. A vertical alignment layer 5 a of polyimide or the like is located on the substrate 2 and arranged in a striped structure substantially co...

[0105] Referring to FIGS. 3A to 3H, a method of manufacturing an LCD device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.

[0106] 3A to 3H are cross-sectional views describing various steps of a method of manufacturing an LCD device.

[0107] In step 3A, a color filter (not shown) comprising R, G and B color portions of each pixel area and a black matrix (not shown) covering intervals between the color portions are formed on one surface of the glass substrate 1. out). Signal electrodes 3 are formed on the color filters and black matrix.

[0108] In step 3B, columnar spacers 7 are formed on a black matrix (not shown) on the glass substrate 1 . The columnar spacers 7 are formed by, for example, adding a photosensitive resin (such as a barrier layer) on the substrate, and patterning the photosensitive resin with a photomask. Thus, columnar spacers 7 can be formed in one patterning step. This eliminates the need for precise alignment as in methods invo...

[0116] Figure 4A with 4B An LCD device according to Example 2 of the present invention is described. Figure 4B is a plan view describing the LCD device, Figure 4A is along Figure 4B The cross-sectional view taken by the line y-y' in .

[0117] exist Figure 4A with 4B In the shown LCD device, an axisymmetric alignment fixing layer 10 is provided on the substrate 1 of each pixel region (ie, in each liquid crystal region 8 ). The vertical alignment layer 5 b is provided on the axis-symmetrical orientation-fixing layer 10 .

[0118] refer to Figure 4A , the thickness of the axisymmetric orientation-fixed layer 10 gradually changes from its maximum value at the columnar spacer 7, and decreases as the distance from the columnar spacer 7 increases until between two adjacent columnar spacers 7 The minimum value is reached at the central axis of . The thickness increases again with decreasing distance to the next columnar spacer 7 . Thus the lowest portion of the axis-s...

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes: first and second substrates; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; a plurality of pillar-like spacers; a plurality of electrodes provided on a side of each of the first and second substrates which faces the liquid crystal layer, for applying a voltage through the liquid crystal layer; and a plurality of pixel regions. The liquid crystal layer has liquid crystal molecules having a negative dielectric anisotropy. A vertical alignment layer is provided on a surface of each of the first and second substrates which faces the liquid crystal layer and on surfaces of the pillar-like spacers. The liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of liquid crystal regions. Each of the pixel regions includes at least one of the liquid crystal regions. The liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal regions are aligned substantially perpendicular to the surfaces of the first and second substrates in an absence of an applied voltage and in axial symmetry in a presence of an applied voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device (hereinafter referred to as "LCD device") with wide viewing angle characteristics, which is suitable for flat display of personal computers, word processors, entertainment equipment, television receivers and the like. Background technique [0002] Currently, many LCD devices for such flat displays employ a TN (Twisted Nematic) mode. The viewing angle of the TN mode liquid crystal display device is narrow, and many efforts have been made to increase the viewing angle of the TN mode liquid crystal display device. [0003] For example, Japanese Unexamined Publication No. 6-301015 and 7-120728 disclose the technology of improving the viewing angle by adopting the ASM mode (axisymmetrically arranged microelement mode). Symmetric pattern orientation. A plurality of polymer walls and a plurality of liquid crystal regions are provided, each liquid crystal region containing a display medium (liq...
