Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device including an array of plural pixels, each of the plural pixels including a first substrate and a second substrate, a first electrode formed on an opposing surface of the first substrate, which surface is positioned opposite to the second substrate, a plurality of first alignment restricting portions provided in the first electrode, a first alignment film covering the first electrode, the plurality of first alignment restricting portions, and the opposing surface of the first substrate, a second electrode formed on an opposing surface of the second substrate, which surface is positioned opposite to the first substrate, a plurality of second alignment restricting portions provided in the second electrode, a second alignment film covering the second electrode, the plurality of second alignment restricting portions, and the opposing surface of the second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first alignment film and the second alignment film and containing liquid crystal molecules having negative dielectric anisotropy, in each pixel, major axes of a group of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer being positioned substantially in the same imaginary plane in a central region of an overlapped region where a projected image of a region surrounded by edges of the first electrode and two first alignment restricting portions overlaps with a projected image of a region surrounded by edges of the second electrode and two second alignment restricting portions, the method comprising:
