Abstract
Abstract A liquid crystal panel comprising base plates, at least one of which is a plastic base plate provided with a transparent electrode, and a liquid crystal interposed between the substrates, is provided by forming an orientation controlling film of a composition comprising an organic indium compound and an organic zirconium compound or of a composition comprising an organic indium compound, a polyester resin and an isocyanate resin on the plastic substrate, or is produced by arranging at least two monoaxially stretched films as the substrates so that their stretched directions are in parallel or in counter-directionally parallel with each other.
