Abstract

The liquid crystal display (LCD) device of the invention includes: a substrate; a dielectric layer; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the substrate and the dielectric layer; a plurality of stripe-shaped electrodes formed on a surface of the substrate facing the liquid crystal layer to extend in parallel with a first direction; and a plurality of stripe-shaped plasma channels formed to face the plurality of electrodes with the liquid crystal layer and the dielectric layer therebetween to extend in parallel with a second direction different from the first direction. The dielectric layer or an alignment layer formed on a surface of the dielectric layer facing the liquid crystal layer selectively attenuates ultraviolet rays emitted from the plasma channels.
