Patent ID: 7456920

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device, the electro-optical device having a pair of substrates with an electro-optical material interposed therebetween, the method comprising: forming electrodes on a substrate surface of at least one substrate of the pair of substrates opposite to the electro-optical material so as to apply a predetermined voltage to the electro-optical material for every pixel; forming a base film of an alignment film made of an inorganic material on the electrodes by performing a first Physical vapor deposition (PVD) method , wherein an angle which a movement direction or directions of the inorganic material forms with respect to the substrate surface is set to one angle or a plurality of angles such that the electrode does not generate a blocked out portion at one location with respect to the movement direction or directions; and forming the alignment film made of the inorganic material on the base film by fixing the angle to a predetermined value different from the value set by the first PVD method or performing a second PVD method with a film forming condition different from the first PVD method.
