ABSTRACT:
A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display element is provided with the steps of: arranging a pair of insulating substrates face to face with each other and bonding them to each other, each of the insulating substrates having electrodes formed thereon with an alignment film formed in a manner so as to cover the electrodes; and filling the gap between the two substrates with a mixture that is made by mixing a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) composition with isotropic micro structural elements that locally give different threshold-value characteristics to liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal composition. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal layer in which the isotropic micro structural elements are formed into a striped organization with the isotropic micro structural elements being sandwiched between smectic layers of the FLC composition. Consequently, it becomes possible to easily provide a liquid crystal display element with high quality that achieves a gray scale display suitable for practical use.
