Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display comprising the steps of:forming a first substrate which has driving wires, active elements and a plurality of pixel electrodes that are driven by the active elements and the driving wires, wherein a flattening film is formed to cover the driving wires and the active elements;forming a second substrate which has a light-shielding film in an island pattern and opposing electrodes;bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together through seal members that are formed on peripheral portions thereof with the electrode-formed surfaces aligned face to face with each other; andsealing a liquid crystal material into a gap whose dimension is controlled by a gap-controlling layer that is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, whereinduring the process for forming the second substrate, a positive-working photosensitive resin layer is applied onto the entire surface of the substrate main body on which the light-shielding film for shielding the active elements from light has been formed,the photosensitive resin is exposed with light that is applied from the back-surface side of the substrate main body using the light-shielding film as a mask and the resulting photosensitive resin layer is developed so that the gap-controlling layer is formed within the light-shielding region of the light-shielding film.
