Liquid crystal display device and manufacturing method thereof
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device including a TFT substrate with display and peripheral regions. The display region has pixels each having a pixel electrode and a TFT. A counter substrate opposes the TFT substrate and has a color filter formed at a position corresponding to a position at which the pixel electrode is formed above the TFT substrate. The method includes coating, outside of the display region of the TFT substrate, a second alignment film in the shape of a frame, and coating, in the display region, a first alignment film that dries more slowly than the second alignment film. The first and second alignment films are in contact, and the second alignment film is thicker than the first alignment film.
1. A liquid crystal display device including a TFT substrate having a display region and a peripheral region, the display region having pixels arranged in a matrix, each pixel having a pixel electrode and a TFT; and a counter substrate opposed to the TFT substrate, the counter substrate having a color filter formed at a position corresponding to a position at which the pixel electrode is formed above the TFT substrate, the TFT substrate being bonded to the counter substrate by way of a seal member located at a substrate periphery,
wherein a first alignment film is formed in the display region of the TFT substrate, and a second alignment film is formed at the peripheral region outside of the display region,
a thickness of the second alignment film is thicker than the thickness of the first alignment film, and
a black matrix is formed on the counter substrate, the black matrix is formed in a region which overlaps with the second alignment film,
wherein the second alignment film is in contact with the seal member.
