a liquid crystal device is disclosed wherein a pair of liquid crystal supporting plates each having a molecular alignment controlling film formed thereon through the langmuir - blodgett method singly orlaminatedly a monomolecular film having as a main component a polyamide compound having a long - chain alkyl substituent in its side chain and a property to overspread a surface of water to form a monomolecular film is oppositely held via a spacer which is adhered on the side on which the molecular alignment controlling film is formed , and a liquid crystal material is injected and held into the space produced between the films thus oppositely held to each other thereby to align the molecules of liquid crystal to the azimuth parallel to the dipping direction of the substrate . a liquid crystal device thus manufactured exhibits a uniform and indefective molecular alignment condition .
