LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate;
a second substrate;
a liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal material exhibiting a blue phase between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a first structure body having a rib-shaped cross-section between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer;
a second structure body having a rib-shaped cross-section between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, wherein a part of the second structure body is provided between parts of the first structure body;
a first electrode layer which covers a top surface and a side surface of the first structure body, wherein a first potential is to be applied to the first electrode layer; and
a second electrode layer which covers a top surface and a side surface of the second structure body, wherein a second potential is to be applied to the second electrode layer.

Abstract
In the liquid crystal display device where a liquid crystal layer exhibiting a blue phase is interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate, a pixel electrode layer (first electrode layer) and a common electrode layer (second electrode layer) provided between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer are positioned not to overlap with each other. The pixel electrode layer is formed to cover top and side surfaces of a rib-shaped first structure body which projects into the liquid crystal layer from a surface of the first substrate on the liquid crystal layer side. The common electrode layer is formed to cover top and side surfaces of a rib-shaped second structure body which projects into the liquid crystal layer from the surface of the first substrate on the liquid crystal layer side.
