Abstract

A liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules. The first substrate includes a plurality of first region-dividing structures; the second substrate includes a plurality of second region-dividing structures. The first substrate, the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer form a plurality of pixel elements, each of the pixel elements is divided into a plurality of regions by the first region-dividing structures and the second region-dividing structures, and the liquid crystal molecules have gradually and continuously changed alignments in at least one of the regions.
