Electro-optical device, method of manufacturing the same, and electronic apparatus

A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device including a pair of substrates, electro-optical material inserted between the pair of substrates, and an alignment film formed on a surface of at least one substrate of the pair of substrates facing the electro-optical material, the method comprising:

• forming the alignment film by laminating a regulation layer and an auxiliary layer on the surface, the regulation layer exerting an alignment regulating force to regulate alignment of the electro-optical material in a particular direction on the surface, and the auxiliary layer provided below the regulation layer and exerting an alignment regulating force in at least an azimuthal direction along the surface of the particular direction to assist the regulation layer for the alignment regulating force of the regulation layer;
• and
• after forming the alignment film, assembling the pair of substrates and the electro-optical material by opposing one of the pair of substrates to another of the pair of substrates, with the surface serving as an inner side, and inserting the electro-optical material between the pair of substrates.
