Liquid crystal display apparatus and manufacturing method therefor

A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

• first and second substrates which are disposed facing each other, a liquid crystal sealed between said first and second substrates;
• a first electrode formed on the liquid crystal side surface of the first substrate;
• a second electrode formed on the liquid crystal side surface of the second substrate;
• alignment control layers which cover the surfaces of said first and second electrodes and control the alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules, when no voltage is applied, to be roughly vertical to the substrate face;
• and
• bumps which are formed on at least one surface of said first and second substrates and determine tilting directions of the liquid crystal molecules when voltage is applied,
• wherein both of said alignment control layers and said bumps are formed of a polymerizable compound included in said liquid crystal, and the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules near the bumps when no voltage is applied is roughly vertical to the substrate face.
