Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, the device including: an LCD panel that has a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; and a number of pixels that are arranged in matrix, the first substrate including: a pixel electrode, which is arranged in an associated one of the pixels; a switching element, which is electrically connected to the pixel electrode; a scan line for supplying a scan signal to the switching element; and a signal line for supplying a display signal to the switching element, the second substrate including a counter electrode that faces the pixel electrode, each said pixel including: a liquid crystal capacitor that is formed by its associated pixel electrode, the liquid crystal layer and the counter electrode; and a storage capacitor that is formed by a storage capacitor electrode, an insulating layer and a storage capacitor counter electrode, the storage capacitor electrode being electrically connected to the pixel electrode, the storage capacitor counter electrode facing the storage capacitor electrode with the insulating layer interposed, the LCD panel further including: two alignment films, one of which is arranged between the pixel electrode and the liquid crystal layer and the other of which is arranged between the counter electrode and the liquid crystal layer; and alignment sustaining layers, each of which is arranged on the surface of an associated one of the alignment films so as to contact with the liquid crystal layer, is made of a photopolymerization product, and defines the pretilt directions of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
