Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device with which response characteristics are able to be easily improved without using major equipment is provided. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device includes steps of forming a first alignment film 22 including a polymer compound having a crosslinkable functional group as a side chain on one substrate of a pair of substrates 20 and 30 ; forming a second alignment film 32 on the other substrate of the pair of substrates 20 and 30 ; arranging the pair of substrates 20 and 30 so that the first alignment film 22 and the second alignment film 32 are opposed to each other, and sealing a liquid crystal layer 40 containing a liquid crystal molecule 41 having negative dielectric constant anisotropy between the first alignment film 22 and the second alignment film 32 ; and bridging the polymer compound to give pretilt to the liquid crystal molecule 41 after sealing the liquid crystal layer 40.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display unit comprising the steps of: forming a first alignment film including a polymer compound comprising a main chain and a side chain having a crosslinkable functional group bonded to the main chain; forming a second alignment film on a second substrate; arranging the first and second substrates so that the first alignment film and the second alignment film are opposed to each other, and sealing a liq…
