Abstract

A liquid crystal display device, having: a liquid crystal display medium that has a liquid crystal layer disposed between a pair of electrodes disposed facing with each other and that displays an image by reflecting or transmitting outside light according to the orientation of the liquid crystal layer; and an electrostatic actuator disposed at a side opposite to a display surface of the liquid crystal display medium, in which the liquid crystal display device displays an image by changing the orientation of the liquid crystal layer by application of a voltage to a specific area of the liquid crystal display medium through the pair of electrodes according to image data after the orientation of the liquid crystal layer is changed to the planar state by applying a stress to the liquid crystal display medium by the electrostatic actuator.
