Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain good contrast at a broad temp. range by making a polarizing plate of the ferroelectric liquid crystal movable. CONSTITUTION:The ferroelectric liquid crystal has an opening angle 2theta. The direction of the liquid crystal molecule varies by the opening angle by inversion of electric field. As the opening angle changes depending on a temp., the optical characteristics changes by the temp. If the polarizing plate rotates so as to accord with the change of the opening angle, the high contrast is always obtd. Thus, the polarizing plate is made movable in the title device, and the polarizing plates 2 and 3 intersect at right angle with each other. The pannel 1 is carried out an ordinary driving, and the polarizing plates 2 and 3 are rotated according to the used temp., thereby making the titled device most suitable.
