Abstract

According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display device includes, a first substrate including a common electrode, a pixel electrode in which a slit facing the common electrode is formed, and a first alignment film, a second substrate including a second alignment film, and a liquid crystal layer which is held between the first alignment film and the second alignment film and is formed of a material having a dielectric constant anisotropy in a range of +3.3 or more to +5.3 or less at a transition temperature of 75° C.

Claims (10)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate including a switching element disposed in each of pixels, a common electrode formed over a plurality of pixels, an insulation film covering the common electrode, a pixel electrode which is electrically connected to the switching element and is formed on the insulation film in each of the pixels and in which a slit facing the common electrode is formed, and a first alignment film which covers the pixel electrode and is subjected to alignment treatment in a direction crossing a major axis of the slit;

a second substrate including a second alignment film which is opposed to the first alignment film and is subjected to alignment treatment in a direction which is parallel to and opposite to the direction of the alignment treatment of the first alignment film; and

a liquid crystal layer which is held between the first alignment film of the first substrate and the second alignment film of the second substrate and is formed of a material having a dielectric constant anisotropy in a range of +3.3 or more to +5.3 or less at a transition temperature of 75° C.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , further comprising a driving module for applying a liquid crystal driving voltage between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, wherein a maximum value of the liquid crystal driving voltage, which is applied by the driving module, is 5 V or less.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein a highest transmittance is obtained when the liquid crystal driving voltage of the maximum value is applied by the driving module.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 3 , wherein the liquid crystal layer is formed of a material having the dielectric constant anisotropy of +3.3 at the transition temperature of 75° C.

5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 4 , wherein a viscosity coefficient of the material, of which the liquid crystal layer is formed, is 48 mPa·s.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , further comprising a first polarizer which is disposed on an outer surface of the first substrate, and a second polarizer which is disposed on an outer surface of the second substrate, wherein a first polarization axis of the first polarizer and a second polarization axis of the second polarizer are perpendicular to each other.

7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the direction of the alignment treatment of the first alignment film crosses the major axis of the slit at an angle of 5° to 15°.
