Abstract:
Provided is a liquid crystal display that achieves both reliability and a narrowed-down frame at a relatively high level. In a liquid crystal display according to an aspect of the present invention, alignment films are disposed on a surface of an array substrate and a surface of a counter substrate. The alignment films are each disposed in a display region and each have an overlap with part of the inside of a sealant. The surfaces of the substrates in the overlaps each have an uneven surface. All over an outer edge portion of the sealant, a portion is disposed in which the sealant is joined to the surfaces of the individual substrates without the alignment films interposed therebetween.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid crystal display comprising:\n an array substrate comprising a display region in which an image is displayed, and comprising a switching element and a pixel electrode arranged in array within the display region; a counter substrate provided to face the array substrate with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween; a sealant provided to surround an outside of the display region, and joining the array substrate to the counter substrate; alignment films disposed on a surface of the array substrate and a surface of the counter substrate, the surfaces facing each other; and the liquid crystal layer surrounded by the sealant, and held in a region in a gap between the array substrate and the counter substrate, the region corresponding at least to the display region, wherein the alignment films are disposed at least in the display region, and are provided to comprise an overlap with a part of an inside of the sealant, on each of the surfaces of the array substrate and the counter substrate in the overlaps, an uneven surface on which a projection pattern or a recess pattern is arranged, and all over an outer edge portion of the sealant, a portion is disposed in which the sealant is joined to the surfaces of the array substrate and the counter substrate without the alignment films interposed therebetween.
