Liquid crystal display device manufacturing method and liquid crystal display device

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device which is provided with a liquid crystal display panel including a liquid crystal layer, a first transparent base board pasted on an display surface side of the liquid crystal layer and a second transparent base board pasted on a back side of the liquid crystal layer, and a backlight unit to make light to transmit toward the display surface side of the liquid crystal display panel, comprising:

• a step of making a mixed gas including a transparent conductive layer forming gas and at least a rare gas as a discharging gas into an excited state by an atmospheric pressure plasma process such that a transparent conductive layer is formed on the display side surface of the first transparent base board.

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel including a liquid crystal layer, a first transparent base board pasted on an display surface side of the liquid crystal layer and a second transparent base board pasted on a back side of the liquid crystal layer, and
• a backlight unit to make light to transmit toward the display surface side of the liquid crystal display panel,
• wherein the first transparent base board includes a transparent conductive layer on the display side surface thereof and the transparent conductive layer is formed on the first transparent base board in such as way that a mixed gas including a transparent conductive layer forming gas and at least a rare gas as a discharging gas is made into an excited state by an atmospheric pressure plasma process.
