Abstract

A liquid crystal device comprises a pair of opposing substrates and a liquid crystal rendering a chiral smectic phase, disposed between said pair of substrates, wherein at least one of the substrates is provided with an alignment film comprising a polymer containing a skeleton selected from the group consisting of acetylene, phenylene, phenylenevinylene, phenylenexylidene, benzyl, phenylene sulfide, dimethylparaphenylene sulfide, thienylene, furan, selenophene, vinylpyridine, vinylnaphthalene, vinylferrocene, vinylcarbazole, phenylene oxide, phenylene selenide, heptadiyne, benzothiophene, thiophene, pyrrole, aniline and naphthylene. The liquid crystal device is used for a display system and effects a high contrast display without after-image.
