ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates; and an electrode for applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal layer includes a polymer dispersed liquid crystal material having a polymer phase and a liquid crystal phase, and fulfills the conditions represented by: R.multidot..DELTA.n>0.3 and 8R<d where d represents the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the unit of micrometers, R represents the characteristic length of the liquid crystal phase in the unit of micrometers, and .DELTA.n represents the birefringence of a liquid crystal material forming the liquid crystal phase, and the liquid crystal phase fulfills the conditions represented by: R.multidot..DELTA.n>0.35 and d<1.2dc where dc represents a minimum thickness of the liquid crystal layer which allows a scattering gain of the liquid crystal layer to change by 20% or less when the thickness of the liquid crystal layer changes by 10%.
