Liquid crystal display device and method of manufacturing same

Abstract

Each pixel of a liquid crystal display device 100 of the present invention includes: a first electrode 12; a second electrode 22; a liquid crystal layer 32 provided between the first electrode and the second electrode; a first vertical alignment film 14 provided between the first electrode and the liquid crystal layer; a second vertical alignment film 24 provided between the second electrode and the liquid crystal layer; and a pair of alignment-sustaining layers 16 and 26 of photopolymerization products 16a and 26a formed on one surface of the first vertical alignment film that is closer to the liquid crystal layer and one surface of the second vertical alignment film that is closer to the liquid crystal layer, wherein the photopolymerization products 16a and 26a of the pair of alignment-sustaining layers each cover 30% or more and 60% or less of an area of the transmission region of a corresponding one of the first and second vertical alignment films 14 and 24. Therefore, it is possible to improve the mass-production stability and the reliability of the liquid crystal display device.
