Liquid crystal display device with sealant in contact with inorganic alignment films

A liquid crystal panel comprising:

• a first substrate including a first transparent conductive electrode and a first inorganic alignment film covering the first transparent conductive electrode;
• a second substrate including a second transparent conductive electrode and a second inorganic alignment film covering the second transparent conductive electrode;
• a sealant attaching the first substrate and the second substrate with a cell gap between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules held between the first inorganic alignment film and the second inorganic alignment film, wherein
• the first inorganic alignment film and the second inorganic alignment film are formed of a material in which a principal chain is composed of silica (SiO2),
• the sealant is in contact with the first inorganic alignment film and the second inorganic alignment film,
• the first substrate includes a first resin insulation film,
• the second substrate includes a second resin insulating film,
• the first transparent conductive electrode is between the first resin insulation film and the first inorganic alignment film,
• the second transparent conductive electrode is between the second resin insulating film and the second inorganic alignment film,
• the first resin insulation film includes a first recess portion,
• the second resin insulation film includes a second recess portion,
• the first recess portion and the second recess portion overlap the sealant,
• the first inorganic alignment film covers the first recess portion, and
• the second inorganic alignment film covers the second recess portion.
