`ABSTRACT
`
`A liquid crystal display deVice including first and second
`substrates, with a liquid crystal layer sealed therebetween.
`The deVice also includes a first electrode formed on the first
`substrate, a second electrode formed on the second substrate,
`a first molecule orientation film formed on the first substrate
`so as to cover the first electrode, a second molecule orienta-
`tion film formed on the second substrate so as to cover the
`
`second electrode, and a plurality of micro structures associ-
`ated with at least one of the first and second electrodes,
`Katzifgriglzzmefmmm
`between the first and second electrodes, liquid crystal mol-
`ecules ofthe liquid crystal layer are oriented such that no dark
`line occurs in a Vicinity ofthe plurality ofmicro structures and
`no dark line occurs between adjacent micro structures.

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`
`The present invention generally relates to liquid crystal
`display devices, and more particularly to a liquid crystal
`display device applying a vertical orientation mode.
`The liquid crystal display device has been widely used for
`various portable information processing apparatuses, espe-
`cially, for laptop computers and cellular phones, as a display
`device that is minimized and requires lower power consump-
`tion. Recently, a performance ofthe liquid crystal display has
`been dramatically improved to be faster. Thus, recent tech-
`nology of the liquid crystal display achieving a faster
`response speed and a clearer contrast is realized to replace a
`CRT display device of a desktop computer or a workstation
`computer.
`However, such a conventional liquid crystal display is
`needed to improve the response speed and the contrast in
`order to be especially applied to a flat display device of a
`desktop computer. Also, it is required to realize a wider angle
`of visibility to recognize information displayed on the con-
`ventional liquid crystal display device as much as a direct
`view angle to a front ofthe conventional liquid crystal display
`device.
`
`2. Description of the Related Art
`Conventionally, as a practical liquid crystal device, a TN-
`type liquid crystal display device that is normally in white
`mode has been widely used. In the TN-type liquid crystal
`display device, an orientation direction of liquid crystal mol-
`ecules is changed depending on an applied voltage signal. A
`transmission light is controlled to turn ON or OFF by the
`change of the orientation direction of the liquid crystal mol-
`ecules.
`
`However, in the TN-type liquid crystal display device, a
`ratio of contrast is limited because of an operation principle.
`Thus, it is diflicult to realize the wider view angle that is
`required for the display device of the desktop computer.
`On the contrary, the inventor of the present invention has
`already proposed a liquid crystal display device in which the
`liquid crystal molecules in a liquid layer are oriented to an
`approximate vertical direction in advance before a driving
`voltage is applied, so called a vertical orientation liquid crys-
`tal display device.
`A principle of a vertical orientation liquid crystal display
`device 10 that is proposed by the inventor of the present
`invention, called an MVA type, will now be described. FIG.
`1A is a diagram showing a non-driving state in that the driving
`voltage is not applied to the liquid crystal display device 10
`and FIG. 1B is a diagram showing a driving state in that the
`driving voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display device
`10.

`
`Referring to FIG. 1A, a liquid crystal layer 12 is clamped
`between glass substrates 11A and 11B. The glass substrates
`11A and 11B form a liquid panel with the liquid crystal layer
`12. Molecule orientation films (not shown) are formed on the
`glass substrates 11A and 11B. By effects of the molecule
`orientation film, in the state in which the driving voltage is not
`applied, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer
`12 are oriented in the approximate vertical direction to the
`liquid crystal layer 12. In the non-driving state in FIG. 1A,
`because a deflection angle of a deflection plate is not substan-
`tially changed, in a case in which a polarizer and an analyzer
`are provided on a top and a bottom surfaces in a crossed Nicol
`state, an incident light beam, which transmits through the
`polarizer and enters the liquid crystal layer 12, is interrupted
`by the analyzer.
`On the other hand, in the driving state in FIG. 1B, the liquid
`molecules are tilted by influence of the applied electric field.
`Then,
`the deflection direction of the deflection plate is
`changed. As a result, the incident light beam, which transmits
`through the polarizer and enters the liquid crystal layer 12,
`transmits through the analyzer.
`Moreover, in the liquid crystal display device 10 in FIG. 1A
`and FIG. 1B, during the transmission from the non-driving
`state to the driving state, in order to suppress a tilt direction of
`the liquid crystal molecules and improve the response speed,
`extended projecting patterns 13A and 13B are alternately
`formed on the glass substrates 11A and 11B in parallel.
`By forming the projection patterns 13A and 13B, the
`response speed of the liquid crystal display device 10 is
`improved and simultaneously a plurality of domains are
`formed in different directions of tilting the liquid crystal
`molecule in the liquid crystal layer 12. As a result, the view
`angle of the liquid crystal display device 10 is greatly
`improved.
`FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an orientation state of the
`liquid crystal molecules in vicinities ofthe projection patterns
`13A and 13B in the driving state in FIG. 1B.
`Referring to FIG. 2, the liquid crystal molecules are tilted
`in the driving state and an angle difference is about 180°
`between orientation directions of the projections 13A and
`13B. That is, the projections 13A and 13B are twisted. In FIG.
`2, a polarizer absorbent axis P and an analyzer absorbent axis
`A are shown.
