Liquid crystal display device and method for fabricating the same
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a pair of substrates opposed to each other, polymeric walls patterned in a predetermined pattern, and a liquid crystal layer at least a part of which is surrounded by the polymeric walls, the polymeric walls and the liquid crystal layer being interposed between the substrates, wherein the polymeric walls have a predetermined rotatory polarization corresponding to an alignment regulating force of the substrates, andwherein a rotatory polarization monomer forming the polymeric walls comprises an alignment regulating portion and a polymerizable portion located on at least one end of the alignment regulating portion.

9. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device comprising a pair of substrates opposed to each other, polymeric walls patterned in a predetermined pattern, and a liquid crystal layer at least a part of which is surrounded by the polymeric walls, the polymeric walls and the liquid crystal layer being interposed between the substrates, the method comprising the steps of:
-
injecting a mixture of a rotatory polarization monomer forming polymeric walls and a liquid crystal material forming a liquid crystal layer between the attached substrates so as to obtain a liquid crystal cell; and selectively irradiating a predetermined portion of the liquid crystal cell with ultraviolet rays at a temperature at which the liquid crystal material exhibits an isotropic phase and an alignment regulating portion of the rotatory polarization monomer is subjected to an alignment regulation of the substrate, thereby polymerizing the rotatory polarization monomer in the predetermined portion so as to form the polymeric walls, and to form a liquid crystal layer in a non-irradiated portion. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
