摘要： A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display cell having a layer of a twisted-nematic liquid crystal material with a positive dielectric anisotropy constant and constructed such that a plurality of voltage potentials applied to the liquid crystal cell may firstly induce a Freedricksz transition of the liquid crystal material and then select either one of first and second metastable states caused by relaxation of the liquid crystal material succeeding the Freedricksz transition. A first voltage potential is adjusted higher than a threshold voltage necessary to cause changes from an initial state to the metastable states, a second voltage potential to select one of the metastable states is adjusted in comparison with a voltage potential necessary to switch between the metastable states, and a third voltage potential is applied as a modulation voltage during or succeeding the application of the second voltage potential. By applying at least one of these voltage potentials, the modulation of the metastable states can be carried out, thereby causing arbitrary changes in transmittance of the liquid crystal cells and achieving a multilevel gray scale in the liquid crystal display device.

摘要： A color filter layer for a color liquid crystal display device is provided, including a plurality of color filters each formed on delineated stripes of transparent electrodes formed substantially parallel to each other on a transparent insulating substrate. These color filters are each electrochemically formed on the delineated stripes of transparent electrodes serf-aligned to the delineated stripes. In addition, a layer of transparent resin material is further provided as a leveling layer that is cured by being exposed to light incident from the backside of the substrate using the color filters as a mask and fills gap portions between the color filters.

摘要： An insulating layer is formed on a plurality of electrodes formed on a plastic film substrate, the insulating layer having a plurality of electrode connecting holes formed therein. Electrodes of the plurality of electrodes are selectively connected to an external circuit via respective ones of the plurality of connecting holes. Conductive color filter layers are formed on the thus-connected electrodes by an electrochemical method. A value obtained as a result of subtracting a width of each one of the plurality of electrode connecting holes from a width of a respective one of the plurality of electrodes is large so that a position of the electrode connecting hole is maintained to correspond to a position of the electrode even when the plastic film substrate expands or contracts maximally.
