Liquid crystal device comprising anchoring means on at least one confinement plate providing a degenerated orientation
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal material sandwiched between two confinements (1,2), the device being characterized by the fact that at least one of the plates (2) is provided with treatment which defines degenerate azimuth anchoring so that no azimuth direction is imposed by anchoring to the liquid crystal material and furthermore the liquid crystal molecules are free to turn around a normal to the plates, without azimuth orientation memory so that an external electric or magnetic field does not generate any azimuth orientation memory.
