Abstract
A liquid crystal display enclosing between two parallel plates a liquid crystal layer which can be switched between two optically different states. The plate surfaces facing each other each carry a matching layer on top of which are the electrodes. On top of the electrode is a first layer system with a dielectric layer and a topmost orientation layer. The refraction index n.sub.u of the substrata is smaller than the index n.sub.e of the electrode. The index of the matching layer has the following relationship: ##EQU1## The matching layer has a thickness d.sub.a, according to: ##EQU2## wherein .lambda.=550 nm, m=natural integer >0, and nm=nanometer, The electrode has a thickness d.sub.e, according to: d.sub.e .ltoreq.30 nm or ##EQU3##
