Claims
- 1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a pair of substrates having opposed surfaces with a space therebetween;
- a liquid crystal layer facing toward the opposed surfaces of the pair of substrates and sealed in the space;
- at least one first electrode disposed in the space and forming a part of a pixel;
- a plurality of second electrodes disposed in the space with respect to the at least one first electrode so as to generate an electric field having a major component substantially in parallel with one of the pair of the substrates in a region of the pixel; and
- an electrically conductive layer disposed on a surface of at least one of the pair of the substrates which is opposite to the opposed surfaces thereof and faces away from the liquid crystal layer which is sealed in the space.
- 2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of first electrodes form the pixel, and a number of the plurality of second electrodes is greater than a number of the plurality of first electrodes.
- 3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive layer has a sheet resistivity no greater than 2.times.10.sup.14 .OMEGA./.quadrature..
- 4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive layer has a sheet resistivity no greater than 1.times.10.sup.8 .OMEGA./.quadrature..
- 5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive layer has a light-transmission factor of not smaller than 34%.
- 6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein one of the pair of substrates is transparent and the electrically conductive layer is disposed on the surface of the one substrate which is transparent.
