Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a vertical alignment liquid crystal layer; first and second substrates that face each other with the liquid crystal layer interposed between them; a first electrode, which is arranged on one surface of the first substrate so as to face the liquid crystal layer, and a second electrode, which is arranged on one surface of the second substrate so as to face the liquid crystal layer; and a first alignment film, which is arranged on the first electrode so as to contact with the liquid crystal layer, and a second alignment film, which is arranged on the second electrode so as to contact with the liquid crystal layer, wherein the first alignment film has been subjected to an optical alignment treatment by obliquely irradiating a first alignment film material, having a photosensitive wavelength within the wavelength range of 250 nm to 380 nm, with light including the photosensitive wavelength, and wherein the device further includes: a metal layer arranged between the first alignment film and the first substrate; and a first resin layer arranged between the metal layer and the first alignment film, and wherein the first resin layer has an optical property that attenuates the intensity of light, which has been incident on the first resin layer and then reflected from the metal layer, to 60% or less at the photosensitive wavelength.
