Patent ID: 8243249

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal device provided with a liquid crystal layer held between a pair of substrates opposed to each other, and an oriented film disposed between at least one of the substrates and the liquid crystal layer, the method comprising: (a) providing an inorganic oriented film to the one of the substrates; (b) forming a first organic film with a first silane-coupling agent, the first organic film randomly covering a surface of the inorganic oriented film with a predetermined coverage factor smaller than 1, step (b) further includes: (b1) reacting the first silane-coupling agent with the surface; (b2) partially removing an organic film formed in step (b1) to form the first organic film; and (b3) controlling a treatment condition in step (b2) to control an amount of removal, thereby setting the predetermined coverage factor of the organic film; and (c) forming, after step (b), a second organic film with a second silane-coupling agent having a carbon number different from a carbon number of the first silane-coupling agent, the second organic film covering the surface exposed from the first organic film, wherein the oriented film composed mainly of the first organic film, the second organic film, and the inorganic film is formed.
