Method for manufacturing liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device manufacturing method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween, the method comprising:
• a first step of subjecting a surface of an organic insulating film provided on the first substrate to a hydrophilization treatment;
• and
• a second step of disposing the first substrate and the second substrate to face each other such that the first substrate and the second substrate are in contact with the liquid crystal layer comprising a liquid crystal composition containing liquid crystal molecules and an alignment aid having a polar group and having the function of causing the liquid crystal molecules to be aligned spontaneously,
• wherein the organic insulating film of the first substrate is in contact with the liquid crystal layer without an alignment layer,
• wherein a contact surface of the organic insulating film contacting the liquid crystal layer subject to the hydrophilization treatment has a static contact angle of water at 25° C. is 70° or less.
