Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an electro-optic device, and more particularly to a liquid crystal controlled patterned electro-optical switching device. [Prior Art] An electro-optical shutter or an electro-optical shutter is a device that controls the passage of light. The physical properties of many materials, such as non-linear crystals or liquid crystal materials, can be applied to electro-optical opening and closing. A typical liquid crystal display structure includes an upper electrode substrate disposed opposite the lower electrode substrate. A liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the upper and lower electrode substrates. ^ The effect of the alignment caused by the anchor force between the phase-matching layer and the liquid crystal layer interface and the effect of the applied electric field make the liquid crystal display not function as a visible image. Furthermore, since the liquid crystal layer determines the penetration of light by the action of the electric field, it has the function of an electro-optical switch. Taking a conventional vertical alignment type liquid crystal display as an example, Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the structure of a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display. Referring to FIG. 1 , the conventional vertical alignment type liquid crystal display 1 includes an upper electrode substrate 10 disposed opposite to the lower electrode substrate 30 with a liquid crystal layer 20 interposed therebetween. The upper electrode substrate 10 and the lower electrode substrate 30 respectively include an electrode layer (not shown) to provide an electric field for driving the liquid crystal layer. An upper alignment layer 15 is disposed between the upper electrode substrate 10 and the liquid crystal layer 20 to provide a uniform alignment and pretilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules 22. The alignment layer 25 is disposed between the lower electrode substrate 30 and the liquid crystal layer 20 to provide a uniform alignment and pretilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules 22. An upper polarizing plate 5 is attached to the outer surface of the upper electrode substrate 10, and a lower portion 1363238. The polarizing plate 35 is attached to the outer surface of the lower electrode substrate 30. During operation, a specific voltage is applied between the upper and lower electrode bases between 1.0 and 30, and the liquid crystal molecules 22 in the liquid crystal layer '20 are turned by the influence of the electric field to change the optical properties of the original state. It should be noted that the structure of the conventional vertical alignment type liquid crystal display 1 must rely on the upper alignment layer 15 and the lower alignment layer 25 to provide an initial vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules. • In the process of the alignment layer, the conventional technique first forms a high molecular film (e.g., poly-anthracene amine PI), and is rubbed in a specific direction with a φ direction. Therefore, the conventional vertical alignment type liquid crystal display consumes a considerable manufacturing cost due to limitation of the material and process of the alignment mold. Therefore, there is a need in the industry for a liquid crystal display (electro-optical switching element) that eliminates the conventional alignment layer, thereby reducing material and manufacturing costs, and further expanding the application field of liquid crystal elements.

In operation, when the applied electric field is zero or less than the threshold voltage for driving the liquid crystal molecules, corresponding to the region where the vertical alignment substance is clustered (in This is the position of the electrode), because the liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically, the dye molecules are also vertically aligned. At this time, the dye molecules have a small absorbing rain to form a bright state, and no vertical alignment material is clustered. The Lu is at the electrodeless position. The liquid crystal molecules are arranged horizontally so that the dye molecules are also horizontally arranged. At this time, the dye molecules have a large absorption of the incident light.

On the other hand, when the external voltage is greater than the threshold voltage of the driving liquid crystal molecules, an electric field is formed at the corresponding electrode position, and the liquid crystal is driven to be horizontally arranged, regardless of the presence or absence of the electrode region, because the dye molecules are also Horizontally arranged. At this time, the dye molecules have a large absorption of incident light into a dark state, as shown in Fig. 4B. Therefore, the electro-optical switching device 2 can form a conventional alignment layer to achieve an electro-optical switching element which causes a difference in optical properties of the image from the action of the electric field from: m ^ , the rabbit. It should be noted that the electro-optic switch device 3 of the present embodiment can be further matched with optical plates of other materials such as a phase shift or a phase retardation film (phase: i^tardatioii film): to enhance optical performance and to respond to different types of uses. .
