<p>A liquid crystal display device (100) comprises: a pair of substrates (110, 120); a liquid crystal layer (140) sandwiched between the pair of substrates; a seal material (130) provided so as to surround the liquid crystal layer (140); a plurality of spacers (132) provided so as to define the spacing between the pair of substrates; an alignment film (114) provided on the liquid crystal layer side of at least one of the pair of substrates; and an alignment maintaining layer (116) including a polymer formed by polymerizing a polymerizable compound, the alignment maintaining layer (116) being provided to the liquid crystal layer side of the alignment film (114). A cell-thickness varying part (50) in which the spacing between the pair of substrates decreases in the direction of the seal material (130) is formed in the vicinity of the seal material (130); and the cell-thickness variance (?h/W) of the cell-thickness varying part (50) is 0.01% or less, where ?h is the reduction in cell thickness in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, and W is the width of the cell-thickness varying part in the in-plane direction of the substrate.</p> |
