Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device for switching a display mode between wide and narrow viewing angle, and a method for fabricating the same, is presented. The LCD device has an LCD panel and a viewing angle control cell. The LCD panel has array and color filter substrates and a liquid crystal layer formed between the substrates. The viewing angle control cell contains a lower substrate that contacts the LCD panel and has a first electrode, an upper substrate having a second electrode, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer between the upper and lower substrates. The viewing angle control cell switches the LCD device between wide and narrow viewing angle modes when driven.
