It has been reported that it is possible to form FEM liquid crystal display devices and the like. It is assumed that this is because the polarity of the substrate and the polarity of the polymer interact to cause the polymer to grow in an oriented manner, and furthermore, the orientation field of the polymer causes the liquid crystal molecules to be homogeneously oriented. For example, it is already known that if a polyimide polymer is used as an alignment film, it is possible to form a highly reliable TNFEM liquid crystal display device with high alignment strength. Furthermore, the orientational growth of dichroic dye molecules in polar polymers is due to the orientation field of the polymer. The figure is a sectional view showing the configuration of a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention.

In this way, a polyimide resin film, which is a polar polymer film containing a dichroic dye, is formed on the glass substrate.
Further, as a result of the above treatment, molecules of the polyimide resin grow oriented in the rubbing direction on the glass substrate subjected to the rubbing treatment due to the interaction between the polarity of the glass substrate and the groove properties of the polymer. That is, since the molecular alignment of the polymer is aligned in the rubbing direction, it functions as an alignment film for liquid crystal molecules. Further, as the polyimide resin grows in molecular orientation, the dichroic dye contained inside the polyimide resin also grows in orientation in the same direction.
In this way, a polarizing film and liquid crystal molecule alignment control film having an absorption axis in the same direction as the rubbing direction is formed on the glass substrate. In the above explanation, a polarizing film and a liquid crystal molecule alignment control film were formed on a glass substrate that had been subjected to a rubbing process. A polarizing film/liquid crystal molecule orientation control film may be formed on the processed material by the same processing method as described above. In addition to the above-mentioned polyimide resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, acrylic resin, melamine resin, cellulose, polyvinylidene fluoride, polypinyl alcohol resin, etc. can be used as the polar polymer substance.

According to the present invention, since a polar polymer substance such as polyimide resin is used as the material of the polarizing film and liquid crystal molecule alignment control film, the liquid crystal alignment can be improved, and its voltage resistance, temperature and humidity resistance can be improved.
