Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display element including a first alignment film and a second alignment film that are provided on opposing face sides of a pair of substrates; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first alignment film and the second alignment film and that includes liquid crystal molecules with negative dielectric constant anisotropy, wherein the first alignment film includes a compound in which a first polymer compound that includes a cross-linked functional group or a polymerized functional group as a side chain is cross-linked or polymerized, the second alignment film includes a compound in which a second polymer compound is cross-linked or polymerized, and a pretilt is conferred, by the first alignment film, on the liquid crystal molecules, at least in a vicinity of the first alignment film, by cross-linking or polymerizing the first polymer compound and the liquid crystal molecules, at least in a vicinity of the second alignment film, are vertically aligned by the second alignment film.
