Abstract
A liquid crystal display element using ferroelectric liquid crystal includes a light blocking thin film which is formed by silicon or silicon-germanium solid solution by evaporation between electrodes formed by an ITO film placed in a striped pattern on a surface of a transparent glass substrate so that the thin film does not protrude from the ITO film surface. This thin film shades a non-pixel region as a black matrix.
