Production method of liquid crystal display including scanning exposure

A production method for making a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer provided between at least the first and second substrates;
• a first alignment film provided on the liquid crystal layer side of the first substrate;
• a second alignment film provided on the liquid crystal layer side of the second substrate;
• wherein the production method comprises subjecting the first alignment film and/or the second alignment film to scanning exposure continuously over a plurality of pixel regions;
• the scanning exposure comprising, in an inside of each of a plurality of pixel regions, a first scanning exposure for aligning liquid crystal molecules in a first alignment direction and a second scanning exposure for aligning liquid crystal molecules in a second alignment direction;
• the second alignment direction being parallel and opposed to the first alignment direction;
• in the first scanning exposure and the second scanning exposure, a light beam is made incident from a oblique direction to a normal line on the substrate surface, and
• a light beam emitting direction of the first scanning exposure and a light beam emitting direction of the second scanning exposure are substantially antiparallel each other in the plan view of the substrate, and
• the first alignment film and/or the second alignment film are/is vertical photo-alignment film(s).
