Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a photo alignment film formed by imidizing an alignment film varnish including a first compound and a second compound;
• and
• an electrode having a surface of Indium Tin Oxide;
• wherein
• the photo alignment film has a first surface contacting a liquid crystal layer, and a second surface contacting the electrode,
• the first compound includes photodegradable polymer,
• the second compound includes polyamide acid,
• the photo alignment film includes a first polymer formed by imidizing the first compound and a second polymer formed by imidizing the second compound, and
• the first polymer and the second polymer are phase-separated so as to dispose the first polymer on the first surface side and the second polymer on the second surface side, and
• the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer is equal to or less than 0.5 degrees according to measurement using the crystal rotation method.
