Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device in which a plurality of electrodes is provided on one of a plurality of substrates with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween and liquid crystal molecules configuring the liquid crystal layer are driven by an electric field generated between a pair of the electrodes, wherein the one substrate has an alignment film which contacts the liquid crystal layer to regulate an alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules and is provided so as to cover at least one of the pair of electrodes, wherein a thickness of the one electrode contacting the alignment film is 30 nm to 55 nm, and a thickness of the alignment film is 80 nm to 125 nm, and wherein an upper surface of the alignment film includes a step difference in areas above the plurality of electrodes, and the step difference is less than the thickness of the one electrode contacting the alignment film.
