LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND PRINTING PLATE FOR ORIENTATION FILM

1 . A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between a pair of substrates; and

orientation films which are arranged with the liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween, wherein

the difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between one side of the orientation film and an outer peripheral portion of an effective display region which faces one side of the orientation film in an opposed manner is set to not more than 0.1 mm.

2 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a convex portion is formed on an outer side of the orientation film, and

a gap is formed between the one side of the orientation film and the convex portion.

3 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the orientation film is formed by a flexography method.

4 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the orientation film is set to several 10 nm to several 100 nm.

5 . An orientation film printing plate on which an orientation film printing pattern for forming an orientation film provided to a liquid crystal display panel by a flexography method is formed, the orientation film printing pattern comprising:

a pair of straight-line first sides which faces each other in an opposed manner;

a pair of straight-line second sides which faces each other in an opposed manner; and

four corner portions which are provided to intersecting portions of the short sides and the long sides, wherein

assuming a rectangular shape which adopts apexes of the respective corner portions as apexes thereof as a first rectangular shape and a rectangular shape which is constituted of a pair of first sides and a pair of second sides as a second rectangular shape, the second rectangular shape is arranged within the first rectangular shape.

6 . An orientation film printing plate on which an orientation film printing pattern for forming an orientation film provided to a liquid crystal display panel by a flexography method is formed, the orientation film printing pattern comprising:

a pair of straight-line short sides which faces each other in an opposed manner;

a pair of straight-line long sides which faces each other in an opposed manner; and

four corner portions which are provided to intersecting portions of the short sides and the long sides, wherein

assuming a rectangular shape which adopts apexes of the respective corner portions as apexes thereof as a first rectangular shape and a rectangular shape which is constituted of a pair of first sides and a pair of second sides as a second rectangular shape, the second rectangular shape is arranged within the first rectangular shape, and

assuming a length in a short-side direction between an apex of the each corner portion and a connection point between one side of the each corner portion on the short side and the short side as L 1 , and assuming a length in a long-side direction between the apex of the each corner portion and the connection point between one side of the each corner portion on the long side and the long side as L 2 , the relationship of L 1 <L 2 is satisfied.

7 . The orientation film printing plate according to claim 6 , wherein assuming a length in a long-side direction between the apex of the each corner portion and the connection point between one side of the each corner portion on the short side and the short side as L 3 , and assuming a length in a short-side direction between the apex of the each corner portion and the connection point between one side of the each corner portion on the long side and the long side as L 4 , the relationship of L 3 <L 4 is satisfied.

8 . The orientation film printing plate according to claim 7 , wherein one side of the each corner portion on the short side and one side of the each corner portion on the long side are formed into a straight-line shape.
