Abstract
An object of the present invention is to reduce defects in display due to short-circuiting in liquid crystal display devices using a liquid crystal material containing organic particles having anisotropy in a uniaxial form. The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device with: a first substrate; a second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer, a pixel electrode and a common electrode placed between the above described first substrate and the above described second substrate, wherein the above described liquid crystal layer contains a number of organic particles having anisotropy in a uniaxial form, and the longitudinal axis of the particle having the longest longitudinal axis from among the above described particles is no greater than the thickness of the above described liquid crystal layer or the distance between the above described pixel electrode and the above described common electrode—whichever is shorter.
