Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of substrates, at least one of said substrates being transparent; a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates; pixel electrodes and common electrodes and active elements arranged on at least one substrate of said pair of substrates, a liquid crystal of said liquid crystal layer being controlled to perform display by applying a voltage between said pixel electrode and said common electrode; and an alignment layer formed on a surface in contact with said liquid crystal layer of each of said pair of substrates; wherein said alignment layer on a side of the substrate having said pixel and common electrodes formed thereon has insulation properties, and a thickness T of said alignment layer having said insulation properties in a region nearer to one of said pixel electrode and said common electrode is larger than a value of one fourth of an interval L between said pixel electrode and said common electrode.
