TL;DR: In this article, a rubbing-less multi-domain vertical alignment LCD (MVA-LCD) was developed for super-high image quality by newly introduced rubbingless technology, which automatically controls the directors of the LC molecules.

TL;DR: In this article, a vertically alignment mode liquid crystal display device having an improved viewing angle characteristic is disclosed, which uses a liquid crystal having a negative anisotropic dielectric constant, and orientations of the liquid crystal are vertical to substrates when no voltage being applied, almost horizontal when a predetermined voltage was applied, and oblique when an intermediate voltage is applied.

TL;DR: A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate sandwiching a liquid crystal layer there between, with a first polarizer disposed adjacent to the first substrate at a side opposite to a side of the second polarizer facing the liquid-crystal layer as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a structural pattern is formed so as to extend in a first direction parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal layer and so, in a driving state, an electric field periodically changing in a second direction that is parallel to the liquid-crystal layer and vertical to the first direction.

TL;DR: In this paper, an orientation-controlling layer is formed on a surface of the liquid crystal substrate to regulate an orientation of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid-crystal layer in a predetermined direction.
