Liquid crystal display device and manufacturing method therefor

摘要

Provided is a liquid crystal display device having excellent light condensing characteristics and capable of avoiding interface reflection as well as a method of manufacturing the liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal panel in which liquid crystal (504) is held in a cell between a first substrate (507) and second substrate (502) opposed to each other, an illumination device which is placed on a side of the first substrate (507) of the liquid crystal panel; a polarization layer (508) containing a dichroic dye that has lyotropic liquid crystal properties which is formed by application on a surface of the first substrate of the liquid crystal panel that is opposite from the liquid crystal (504); and a condenser lens (509) which condenses light from the illumination device to an interior of the cell, and/or a resin layer which protects the polarization layer (508), which are disposed on a top surface of the polarization layer (508).
