<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal alignment layer by which powders and particles are prevented from producing on an organic alignment layer and a patterning process can be conducted on an inorganic alignment layer so as to increase the latitude of design of the inorganic alignment layer. <P>SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the liquid crystal alignment layer includes a step to conduct an ion implantation process after furnishing a step to provide an organic or inorganic material layer on a substrate for the purpose of imparting alignment treatment to the organic or inorganic material layer. As the alignment treatment is a kind of noncontact method, it reduces probability of damaging the organic alignment layer so as to prevent the production of powder and particles. Furthermore, the inorganic material layer is formed on the substrate before the alignment treatment, and thereby the inorganic material layer is pattern formed before the alignment treatment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
