Abstract

Abstract A super twisted nematic type liquid crystal display device includes two of substrates, at least one of which is made of a plastic film, transparent electrode films disposed on each inner face of the two of the substrates, a plurality of spacers dispersed between the two of the substrates for maintaining the two of the substrates at a predetermined space and a liquid crystal enclosed between said substrates. The spacers are of spherical grains, a standard deviation of a distribution with respect to diameters of the spherical grains is not more than 3.5% of an average diameter of the spherical grains, a dispersion quantity of the spherical grains between said substrates is 100 to 200 grains/mm 2 , and the liquid crystal has a twisted angle of 180° to 270° with respect to liquid crystal molecules thereof.
