Abstract:
A method for producing a liquid crystal display apparatus comprising a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the pair of substrates with alignment films of an organic polymer formed at interfaces between the liquid crystal layer and each of the substrates, the alignment films regulating aligning conditions of liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal layer including two or more liquid crystal layer regions of different initial aligning conditions, the method comprising:a step of selectively irradiating at least one of the alignment films with light, so as to have surface tensions, oxygen atom concentrations, or carbonyl radical concentrations which are different from each other in surface regions of the at least one of the alignment films, the surface regions being in contact with the liquid crystal layer regions having said different initial aligning conditions resulting in said different aligning conditions.
