Patent ID: 7304712

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of substrates attached through a sealing material coated in seamless manners on an entire circumference of an outer periphery; a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates; a structure P 1 ′ that comes into contact with both of the pair of substrates and sustains a predetermined cell gap G 1 ; and a structure P 2 that, when a pressure is externally applied, sustains a cell gap G 2 that is narrower than the cell gap G 1 ; and an alignment control structure that is formed on at least one of the pair of substrates for controlling an alignment of the liquid crystal, wherein the alignment control structures are formed with different formation patterns between a region in the neighborhood of the structure P 1 ′ and other regions, and wherein a height Hp 1 ′ of the structure P 1 ′ and a height Hp 2 of the structure P 2 satisfy a relationship of Hp 1 ′≅G 1 >Hp 2 .
