Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a base supporting a laminate which has an LC-layer (liquid crystal layer) formed of polymeric material holding micro-volumes of liquid crystal material, and a conductive layer on one surface of the LC-layer, the other surface of the LC-layer being substantially conductor-free, and apparatus for transitory application of DC electrical potential through the LC-layer to the conductive layer to produce an image. The invention provides improved image quality independent of application technique and without degradation of the laminate.
