Method for manufacturing display device

A method for manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• producing an array substrate in which a plurality of first electrodes are formed on a first light-transmitting base member;
• producing a counter substrate in which a plurality of second electrodes are formed on a second light-transmitting base member facing the first light-transmitting base member;
• forming a sealing portion on one of the array substrate and the counter substrate;
• dropping, inside the sealing portion, polymer-dispersed liquid crystals that contain photocrosslinkable monomers and liquid crystal molecules in gaps between the monomers;
• bonding the array substrate to the counter substrate, and forming a liquid crystal layer in which the polymer-dispersed liquid crystals have been dropped;
• and
• curing the liquid crystal layer by irradiating the liquid crystal layer with ultraviolet rays while a voltage is applied to the first electrodes and the second electrodes so as to produce a potential difference between the first electrodes and the second electrodes, wherein
• at the producing the counter substrate, a plurality of slits for each pixel are formed between the second electrodes along a second direction intersecting a first direction at predetermined intervals in the first direction in a plane parallel to a surface of the second light-transmitting base member,
• at the producing the counter substrate, a third electrode, a light-transmitting insulating film, and the second electrodes are stacked on the second light-transmitting base member in the order as listed, and
• the third electrode overlaps the second electrodes and the slits and has the same potential as that of the second electrodes.
