Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates provided with electrodes, at least one of the substrates being transparent, a liquid crystal region and a polymeric wall surrounding the liquid crystal region, the liquid crystal region and the polymeric wall being interposed between the pair of substrates. Such a liquid crystal display device can be obtained by a method including at least one step of heating a liquid crystal cell including a mixture containing a liquid crystal material and a photocurable resin interposed between the pair of substrates to a temperature higher than the transition temperature of the liquid crystal material in order to control a mobility of the liquid crystal material and the photocurable resin; and at least one step of cooling the heated liquid crystal cell to a temperature lower than the transition temperature in order to cause phase separation of the liquid crystal material from the photocurable resin and form a liquid crystal region and a polymeric wall at desired locations.
