Liquid crystal display device having an alignment film comprising an inclined surface inside an edge-part area

摘要

In the first substrate of a liquid crystal display device, a plurality of gate lines that extend along the row direction, a plurality of data lines that extend along the column direction, a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of thin film transistors that are placed respectively in association with a plurality of pixels that are formed in the row direction and the column direction, and an alignment film, are formed, and the thickness of the alignment film in an edge-part area, which is an area of a predetermined width from an edge part of an image display area that is formed with the plurality of pixels, is thinner than the thickness of the alignment film in the center part of the image display area.

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
a first substrate on a back surface side and a second substrate on a display surface side, the first substrate and the second substrate being placed opposite to each other via a liquid crystal layer; the first substrate comprising:
a plurality of gate lines extending in a row direction that are formed thereon;a plurality of data lines extending in a column direction that are formed thereon;a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of thin film transistors that are placed respectively in association with a plurality of pixels that are formed in the row direction and the column direction; andan alignment film formed thereon,
wherein a thickness of the alignment film in an edge-part area that is an area of a predetermined width from an edge part of an image display area that is formed with the plurality of pixels, is thinner than the thickness of the alignment film in a center part of the image display area, andwherein the alignment film has an inclined surface inside the edge-part area that is inclined such that the thickness of the alignment film in the edge-part area becomes continuously thinner across a width of the edge-part area.
