Method of manufacturing liquid crystal display apparatus and liquid crystal display apparatus

摘要

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising the step of rubbing with a rubbing cloth a substrate provided thereon with an alignment layer. The rubbing cloth comprises a pile portion with raised fibers, and the fibers comprising a cellulose acetate. The fibers comprising a cellulose acetate may be filament yarns provided with crimps. The cellulose acetate may have an acetylation degree of 45% or more. This method has a rubbing step making use of a rubbing cloth having properties of high wear resistance, low frictional electrification and great alignment force together, and enables manufacture of a liquid crystal display apparatus having high reliability.
