Liquid crystal display device and method of producing the same

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device, in which a liquid crystal layer is supported by a liquid crystal substrate, in which an orientation-controlling layer is formed on a surface of the liquid crystal substrate to regulate an orientation of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer in the predetermined direction, and the orientation-controlling layer is formed by an incorporated additive added to the liquid crystal.

1 . A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
 a pair of substrates;   a liquid crystal layer arranged between said pair of substrates; and   an orientation controlling layer, formed between said liquid crystal layer and at least one of said pair of substrates, controlling orientations of liquid crystal molecules in said liquid crystal layer;   said liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules and at least one of a monofunctional monomer and a polyfunctional monomer, and   said orientation controlling layer including a polymer obtained by a polymerization of said at least one of a monofunctional monomer and a polyfunctional monomer.
