Abstract

The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device in which an alignment direction of a liquid crystal molecule at the time of driving is regulated by using a polymer, and has an object to provide a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device in which excellent display characteristics can be obtained. A liquid crystal layer containing a polymerizable component capable of being polymerized by light is sealed between two substrates arranged to be opposite to each other, the polymerizable component is polymerized by irradiation of light under a predetermined light irradiation condition while a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer under a predetermined voltage application condition, and when a pre-tilt angle of a liquid crystal molecule and/or an alignment direction at a time of driving is regulated, at least one of the voltage application condition and the light irradiation condition is changed for each region.

Claims (12)

1. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:

sealing a liquid crystal layer containing a polymerizable component capable of being polymerized by light between two substrates arranged to be opposite to each other;

polymerizing the polymerizable component by irradiation of light under a predetermined light irradiation condition while a voltage is applied to a plurality of regions in the liquid crystal layer under a predetermined voltage application condition; and

regulating a pre-tilt angle of a liquid crystal molecule and/or an alignment direction at a time of driving;

wherein at least one of the voltage application condition and the light irradiation condition is changed for each region.

2. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light irradiation condition includes an irradiation intensity of the light.

3. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light irradiation condition includes an irradiation time of the light.

4. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light irradiation condition includes an irradiation wavelength of the light.

5. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a color filter is formed in each pixel, and

wherein at least one of the voltage application condition and the light irradiation condition is changed for each color filter formed in each pixel.

6. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the voltage application condition and the light irradiation condition is changed between a corner region at a side opposite to a liquid crystal injection port and another region.

7. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light is ultraviolet light.
