Patent ID: 8366504

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device that includes a TFT substrate having a TFT, a pixel electrode, a scanning line, a video signal line, and an orientation film, a counter substrate having an orientation film, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the orientation film for the TFT substrate and the orientation film for the counter substrate, the method comprising the steps of: forming the orientation film for the TFT substrate by offset printing that is performed to transfer an orientation film material from a printing plate to the TFT substrate, the direction in which the printing plate rotates during the offset printing being a first direction of the TFT substrate; and forming the orientation film for the counter substrate by offset printing that is performed to transfer an orientation film material from a printing plate to the counter substrate, the direction in which the printing plate rotates during the offset printing being perpendicular to the first direction of the TFT substrate.
