Vertical alignment active matrix liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a pair of substrates opposed to each other with a predetermined gap maintained therebetween;
electrodes provided respectively on mutually opposing inner surfaces of the pair of substrates, and defining plural pixels by mutually opposing regions, the plural pixels being arrayed in a matrix;
dielectric films provided respectively corresponding to substantial center portions of regions of one of the substrates, the regions corresponding to the plural pixels;
vertical-alignment films provided respectively on the inner surfaces of the paired substrates, covering the electrodes and the dielectric films; and
a liquid crystal layer having negative dielectric anisotropy and sealed in the gap between the pair of substrates.

Abstract
A vertical-alignment liquid crystal display device is constituted by a first substrate on which a first electrode is formed, a second substrate on which a second electrode opposed to the first electrode is formed and which is opposed to the first substrate, alignment films respectively on mutually opposing inner surfaces of the first and second substrates, and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first and second substrates and having negative dielectric anisotropy. On the second electrode, dielectric films having a dielectric constant different from another dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer in the layer thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer when a voltage is applied between the first and second electrodes are provided at positions respectively corresponding to the center portions of plural pixels.
