Abstract

A liquid crystal display. The display has a first substrate and a second substrate. One of the substrates is disposed opposite the other a first distance apart. Each of the substrates has an inner surface and an outer surface that is opposite the inner surface. A liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the inner surfaces of the substrates. At least a pair of a first electrode and a second electrode are arranged along a first direction on the inner surface of the first substrate. The first electrode is disposed parallel to the second electrode a second distance apart. A first homeotropic alignment film is disposed on the first substrate including the first and second electrodes. At least a pair of a third electrode and a fourth electrode are arranged along a second direction on the second substrate. The third electrode is disposed parallel to the fourth electrode a third distance apart, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. A second homeotropic alignment film is (disposed on the second substrate including the third and fourth electrodes. A first polarizer is disposed on the outer surface of the first substrate; and a second polarizer is disposed on the outer surface of the second substrate.
