In-plane switching liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal layer confined between first and second substrates, an electrode formed on the first substrate so as to create an electric field acting generally parallel to a plane of the liquid crystal layer, and a plurality of pixels being defined in the liquid crystal layer, wherein each of the pixels includes therein a plurality of domains having respective orientations for liquid crystal molecules, such that the orientation is different between a domain and another domain within the plane of the liquid crystal layer.
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, said liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second, mutually opposing substrates, a liquid crystal layer confined between said first and second substrates, and an electrode provided on said first substrate so as to create an electric field acting generally in a plane of said liquid crystal layer, said method comprising the step of:
exposing a molecular alignment film formed on each of said first and second substrates to a polarized ultraviolet radiation,
wherein said step of exposing said molecular alignment film is conducted such that an exposure dose for a region between pixels is increased as compared with an exposure dose for a pixel region.
