                     The monomer of ultraviolet-rays hardenability, oligomer, and by irradiating                        
                     ultraviolet rays, a mixed solution is further enclosed in a cell from a nematic                    
                     liquid crystal, and the radical polymerization of a monomer and the oligomer is                    
                     carried out, and the liquid crysta[l] display element by this invention fixes the                  
                     phase separation of a liquid crystal layer and a macromolecule layer, and is                       
                     obtained. The size of a liquid crystal layer is controlled by the temperature at the               
                     time of a polymerization, and optical irradiation intensity at this time.  As a                    
                     monomer material, the single organic-functions acrylate monomer expressed with                     
                     a general formula 1 [a nonyl-phenol EO acrylate having 3 to 9 ethylene oxide                       
                     units] from the interaction in an interface being weak and low-battery-ization                     
                     being achieved is desirable after that compatibility with the liquid crystal before                
                     hardening is good, and hardening.  Moreover, only by the single organic-functions                  
                     acrylate monomer, since hardenability is bad and control of phase separation                       
                     structure is difficult, PDLC suitable for the display device is formed by using                    
                     together the good acrylic ester oligomer of compatibility with liquid crystal.  In                 
                     order to demonstrate both function in addition especially, as for monomer                          
                     material, it is desirable that it is 20 - 70 % of the weight to a macromolecule                    
                     matrix. (brackets added)
