ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates; an alignment film comprising a polyimide which has a fluorine-containing substituent in its diamine-originated moiety, disposed on at least one of the pair of substrates and subjected to an aligning treatment; and a chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed between the pair of substrates in an alignment state where its helical structure is suppressed. The chiral smectic liquid crystal is placed in an alignment state of forming an aligned region occupying an area which is at least 95% of the effective display region of the liquid crystal device. The aligned region includes a plurality of unidirectionally bent layers each organized by plural liquid crystal molecules in chiral smectic phase.
