Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel which sandwiches a liquid crystal material between a first substrate having a pixel electrode and a second substrate having a counter electrode, wherein the second substrate includes an orientation control projection which is formed by forming a conductive film on the second substrate, by forming an insulation film on the conductive film and, thereafter, by patterning the insulation film, and a light shielding layer which is formed by patterning the conductive film using the orientation control projection as a mask, wherein the light shielding layer has an outer periphery thereof as viewed from above a planar surface of the substrate arranged inside an outer periphery of the orientation control projection and, at the same time, a whole side surface of the outer periphery of the light shielding layer is not covered with the orientation control projection.
