A novel vertical alignment liquid crystal display with a structure having
a flower-shaped vertical alignment (FVA) has the properties of fast
response, high contrast ratio and a wide view angle. The method for
making the device and structure of the FVA comprises the arrangement of:
a first substrate with a protrusion shaped electrode as the pixel
electrode; and a second substrate as the common electrode; aligning
layers formed on said first and second substrates providing liquid
crystal vertical alignment; liquid crystal materials filling a space
between said first and second substrates as a liquid crystal cell; a
linear polarizer and wide band quarter-wave film forming a circular
polarizer; and, said circular polarizer disposed on exterior surfaces of
said liquid crystal cell. When voltage is applied to the device, the
liquid crystal (LC) director distribution looks like a flower blossom.
