Patent ID: 7209206

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates with a liquid crystal layer sandwiched in-between, a plurality of electrodes formed on the first substrate, a first protective film formed on the first substrate and the electrodes, a second protective film formed on the first protective film, wherein the relationship among the thicknesses d 3 , d 2 of the first protective film and the second protective film above the electrodes of a thickness d 4 , the thicknesses d 3 ′, d 2 ′ of the first protective film and the second protective film on the first substrate without the electrodes formed underneath satisfies a formula d 3 ≈d 3 ′, d 2 <d 2 ′<d 2 +d 4 , and the relationship between the thickness d 1 of the liquid crystal layer on the region which the electrodes are arranged and the thickness d 1 ′ of the liquid crystal layer of the region without the electrodes being arranged satisfies a formula d 1 ≦d 1 ′.
