Patent ID: 8089594

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device comprising: forming an electrode on at least one substrate of a pair of substrates to apply a voltage to the liquid crystal molecules, holding a first alignment control layer for substantially vertically aligning the liquid crystal molecules and a liquid crystal layer between said pair of substrates, forming a second alignment control layer of an ultraviolet ray-cured product after the liquid crystal layer is held between said pair of substrates; wherein said second alignment control layer is formed continuously in at least a substantial portion of each of a plurality of pixels and is formed through a first process of irradiating ultraviolet rays in a state where part of a display pixel is shielded or dimmed while applying a voltage to said liquid crystal layer, wherein after said first process, a second process is executed for irradiating ultraviolet rays in a manner that the threshold voltage in the region where the light is shielded or dimmed through said first process becomes lower than the threshold voltage in the region where the light is neither shielded nor dimmed through said first process, and wherein said second process irradiates ultraviolet rays to the whole panel surface.
