LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate between which a liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal material exhibiting a blue phase is interposed;
a pixel electrode layer having an opening pattern, which is provided between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer; and
a common electrode layer having an opening pattern, which is provided between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer.

Abstract
It is an object to provide a liquid crystal display device using a liquid crystal material exhibiting a blue phase which enables higher contrast. In the liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal layer exhibiting a blue phase, the liquid crystal layer exhibiting a blue phase is interposed between a pixel electrode layer having an opening pattern and a common electrode layer having an opening pattern (a slit). An electric field is applied between the pixel electrode layer and the common electrode layer which have opening patterns and are provided so that a liquid crystal is interposed therebetween, whereby an oblique (oblique to a substrate) electric field is applied to the liquid crystal. Thus, liquid crystal molecules can be controlled by the electric field.
