Electrode slit portions are formed in a pixel electrode in a direction of crossing a slit for dividing a liquid crystal layer into a plurality of domains. A titanium oxide film is formed so as to be exposed to the liquid crystal layer side via the electrode slit portions, the titanium oxide film having a relative dielectric constant higher than that of an organic film formed at positions corresponding to the electrode slit portions. By the titanium oxide film, an electric field of each domain is set, angles between the director in the vicinity of the electrode slit portion and transmission axes of polarizing plates are made to approximately 45&#xb0;, and a decrease in transmittance caused by the falling direction of the director can be suppressed. The transmittance and contrast ratio are secured, and simultaneously an excellent wide viewing angle range can be obtained.

Liquid crystal display element

An operative reflection and absorption plate including a substrate having a moth eye structure on its surface is used, whereby an absorbing status and a reflecting status can be realized without using a polarizing plate, and a display element exhibiting a bright and high contrast can be obtained.

A laminate including: a first silica-based film; a second silica-based film; and an organic film, wherein the second silica-based film includes an organic group containing a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon triple bond. A method of forming the laminate includes: forming a first coating for a first silica-based film on a substrate; forming a second coating for a second silica-based film on the first coating, the second coating including an organic group containing a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon triple bond; forming a third coating for an organic film on the second coating; and curing a multilayer film including the first to third coatings.

Laminate and method of forming the same, insulating film, and semiconductor device

A liquid crystal display device comprises a first substrate including a first insulation substrate, and rectangular pixel electrodes provided in a matrix on the first insulation substrate and elongated in a first direction, a second substrate opposing the first substrate, and including a second insulation substrate, a counter electrode on the second insulation substrate, and projections on the counter electrode, elongated in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a liquid crystal layer held between the first and second substrates. The projections extend through pixel regions defined by the pixel electrodes and counter electrode, and are formed asymmetrical with respect to a first imaginary line passing through centers of opposite short sides of each pixel electrode and extending in the first direction, and with respect to a second imaginary line passing through centers of opposite long sides of each pixel electrode and extending in the second direction.
