Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate and a counter substrate on each of which an alignment film is formed and a liquid crystal interposed and held between the alignment films of the TFT and counter substrate, wherein the alignment film is made of a material capable of applying liquid crystal alignment regulation force by polarized light irradiation, a convex structure is formed on the TFT substrate or the counter substrate, and the alignment film is applied the liquid crystal alignment regulation force to a surface of a region ranging from the periphery of the convex structure to the vicinity of an inclined part of the convex structure and is not applied the liquid crystal alignment regulation force to a surface of the inclined part of the convex structure.
