Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate provided to face the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first polarizing plate and a second polarizing plate respectively provided on a side of the first substrate and a side of the second substrate which are opposed to sides to which the liquid crystal layer is provided; and a first electrode and a second electrode provided to the liquid crystal layer side of the first substrate, wherein an electric field parallel to substrate surfaces of the first and second substrates is applied to the liquid crystal layer by an electric field generated between the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby controlling alignment of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer, a polarizing layer is provided on the liquid crystal layer side of the second substrate so as to be in contact with the liquid crystal layer, and the polarizing layer has a uniaxial absorption anisotropy and serves as an alignment layer for regulating a direction of alignment of the liquid crystal molecules; wherein a glass transition temperature of the polarizing layer is 200° C. or more; an alignment maintaining layer for maintaining alignment of the liquid crystal molecules is provided between the polarizer layer and the liquid crystal layer; wherein the alignment maintaining layer is made of a polymer of a following monomer: Where P
