Patent ID: 8130348

Claim:
A production method of a liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer provided between the substrates; a plurality of pixel regions; a first alignment film provided on the liquid crystal layer side surface of the first substrate; and a second alignment film provided on the liquid crystal layer side surface of the second substrate, wherein the first alignment film and/or the second alignment film are/is photo-alignment film(s) that can provide liquid crystal molecules with a pretilt angle after photoirradiation to the film(s), the production method comprising continuous scanning exposure, the scanning exposure includes first exposure of a region inside each pixel region of the first substrate in a longitudinal direction of each pixel of the first substrate, and subsequent second exposure of at least a substantial part of the remaining region inside each pixel region of the first substrate in a direction opposite to the direction of the first exposure, and wherein in the scanning exposure the first exposure is continuously performed from one end of the first substrate to the other end, and then the second exposure is continuously performed from the other end of the first substrate to the one end, and wherein each of the directions of the first exposure and the second exposure are along a border of the two regions of the first exposure and the second exposure in each of the pixel regions.
