An anti-ferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) is used as the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal cell has a lower electrode substrate and an upper electrode substrate, between which a smectic liquid crystal is disposed together with a plurality of barrier walls on the inner side of a band seal. Each barrier wall has through holes to communicate between the two filling portions located on the two sides of the barrier walls.Field of SearchFormed as walls (e.g., between pixels) or integral with substratePlural types in single liquid crystal cell Injecting liquid crystal Defect correction or compensation In smectic phase Spacer Substrate With particular topology (i.e., other than for diffraction and spacers) Variable or rotatable retarder used with other retarders to produce filtering effects (Solc, Lyot, Partial) | |
