Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To impart vertical alignment and domain formation to a homeotropic pixel element of a liquid crystal display technique by using a technique to form a self-organizing monomolecular film. SOLUTION: A substituted silane compound such as octadecyl silane is applied to a transparent conductive layer surface of such as indium tin oxide as a hydrolysable alcoholic solution and a molecular layer with thickness of essentially one molecule (the monomolecular film) is formed via a baking temperature cycle. One terminal group of the monomolecular film is bonded to the indium tin oxide surface and the other terminal group functions so as to influence molecular alignment and domain formation of a liquid crystal material.
