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.

a black matrix is formed on the counter substrate, the black matrix is formed in a region which overlaps with the second alignment film material.
2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second alignment film material has a drying rate faster than that of the first alignment film material.
3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second alignment film material is thicker than a thickness of the first alignment film material.
4. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a TFT substrate having a display region and a peripheral region, the display region having pixels, each pixel having a pixel electrode and a TFT; and
