Abstract:
Method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:forming a TFT array substrate having a plurality of scanning lines formed on a transparent insulating substrate by a metal film, a plurality of data lines formed on or beneath the scanning lines so as to be separated by an insulating film in such a manner as to intersect the scanning lines, switching elements that are formed by a semiconductor layer at respective intersections between the scanning lines and the data lines, and pixel electrodes that are formed by a transparent conductive film and electrically connected to the switching elements; and providing a counter substrate opposing said TFT array substrate with a liquid crystal interposed between the TFT array substrate and the counter substrate; wherein said step of forming a TFT substrate comprises: using a divisional exposing method as a patterning method on the TFT array substrate to form adjacent exposing areas within a display area of the liquid crystal display apparatus, causing said adjacent exposing areas to overlap in an overlapped area that is divided into a plurality of shots, and providing a shot layout within the overlapped exposing area such that a portion of the overlapped exposing area which comes closer to a predetermined exposing area is subjected to a linearly greater distribution of a predetermined shot associated with the predetermined exposing area.
