Liquid-crystal display device and method of manufacturing same

1. A liquid-crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate;

a liquid-crystal layer with a predetermined thickness between the first substrate and the second substrate;

a planarization film for planarizing the surface of the liquid-crystal layer, the planarization film being on the surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate facing the liquid-crystal layer;

projecting parts integrally formed with the planarization film; and

sensor electrodes on the projecting parts that are integrally formed with the planarization film,

wherein,

the projecting parts and the planarization film are made from a same material.

2. The liquid-crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting parts comprise spacer layers for maintaining the thickness of the liquid-crystal layer.

3. The liquid-crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting parts comprise:

a spacer layer for maintaining the thickness of the liquid-crystal layer; and

an auxiliary spacer layer formed so as to be lower than the spacer layer.

4. The liquid-crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

opposing electrodes formed on the first substrate or the second substrate, the opposing electrodes opposing the sensor electrodes via the liquid-crystal layer and that are formed so as to be connected to the sensor electrodes as a result of the curving of the first substrate or the second substrate,

wherein the projecting parts are formed in such a manner that the heights of the projecting parts are less than the thickness of the liquid-crystal layer.

5. The liquid-crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting parts comprise orientation controllers for controlling the orientation of a liquid crystal forming the liquid-crystal layer.

6. The liquid-crystal display device according to one of claims 1 to 5 , wherein the heights of the projecting parts are adjusted using an adjustment layer formed below the planarization film.

7. The liquid-crystal display device according to one of claims 1 to 5 , wherein the projecting parts are formed in such a manner that a plurality of different layers are laminated.

8. The liquid-crystal display device according to one of claims 1 to 6 , wherein the projecting parts are formed in non-opening parts.

9. The liquid-crystal display device according to claim 3 , further comprising a common electrode on an entire surface of the planarization film excluding the spacer layer.

10. The liquid-crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the spacer layer and the auxiliary spacer layer are at a position where they are light-shielded by a light-shielding film.
