Patent ID: 7821602

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising the steps of: forming pixel electrodes on inside surfaces of a couple of substrates facing each other, each of the pixel electrodes having gaps; sealing, between the couple of substrates with the pixel electrodes formed, a liquid crystal layer containing a light curing material; and exposing the liquid crystal layer through use of a light shielding film having a plurality of openings, under a voltage applied between a pair of pixel electrodes facing each other on the couple of substrates, wherein the gaps are alternately disposed to form a staggered arrangement between the pair of pixel electrodes and, spacing between adjacent openings of the light shielding film is smaller than spacing, in a substrate surface direction, between the gap of a pixel electrode on one substrate and the gap of a pixel electrode on the other substrate, wherein, a ratio of the spacing between adjacent openings of the light shielding film, to the spacing in a substrate surface direction between the gap of a pixel electrode on one substrate and the gap of a pixel electrode on the other substrate is an irrational number.
