Patent ID: 8508678

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: an active matrix substrate including a plurality of first touch panel interconnects extending in parallel with each other; a counter substrate facing the active matrix substrate and including a plurality of second touch panel interconnects extending in parallel with each other in a direction intersecting the first touch panel interconnects; a liquid crystal layer provided between the active matrix substrate and the counter substrate with an alignment film being interposed between the liquid crystal layer and each of the active matrix substrate and the counter substrate; and a plurality of columnar touch pins connected to the first or second touch panel interconnects, wherein when a surface of the active matrix substrate or the counter substrate is pressed, conduction is established between at least one of the first touch panel interconnects and a corresponding at least one of the second touch panel interconnects via a corresponding at least one of the touch pins, and repellency to the alignment film is imparted to at least a portion of a top portion of each of the touch pins.
