Abstract:
1. A liquid-crystal display device comprising: a liquid-crystal display panel comprising a main substrate, an opposite substrate, and a liquid crystal enclosed in a gap between the main substrate and the opposite substrate, wherein a polarizer plate is attached at least to the opposite substrate; markers to be used in an attachment operation of an optical element to the panel, the markers being formed at positions that overlap with the polarizer plate in a non-display region on the main substrate or the opposite substrate; and alignment direction regulators for regulating an alignment direction of molecules of the liquid crystal to a predetermined direction in vicinities of the markers, thereby allowing light to pass through at least the opposite substrate; wherein the panel is designed to operate in the normally black mode; and the alignment direction regulators differentiate the alignment direction of the molecules of the liquid crystal in the vicinities of the markers from that of the molecules of the liquid crystal in a display region.
