Abstract: A first electrode 30 for the touch panel is formed on an outer side of a counter substrate 200, and the protection film 210 is formed over the first electrode 30 to cover it. A defect 211 in the protection film 210 is filled in with another protection film 210 by inkjet coating. The surface of the protection film 210 is rubbed to a rough surface finish. The polarization plate 220 is attached to the rough surface of the protection film 210 via an adhesive material 221. Since the defective region is repaired by the formation of the protection film 210, corrosion of the first electrode (wiring) 30 due to the presence of the adhesive material 221 can be prevented, and since the surface of the second protection film 210 is made rough, a resulting increase in adhering surface area enhances the adhesion for attaching the polarization plate 220.

Abstract: The invention prevents disconnection of data lines that traverse two-layered gate lines via an insulating film. Data lines 20 override and thereby traverse gate lines 10 with an insulating film deposited therebetween. The gate lines 10 each have a two-layered structure including a lower AlCu layer 11 and an upper MoCr layer 12. When the thickness ratio of the upper layer 12 to the lower layer 11 is in the range of 0.4 to 1.0, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the etch speed of the upper layer 12 near the side edges of the gate line 10, which occurs due to galvanization. As a result, the upper layer 12 is prevented from having an overhang. The absence of overhangs on the gate lines 10 prevents the data lines 20 from being disconnected at the intersections of the gate lines 10 and the data lines 20.

Specifically, the LC molecules are aligned such that: the LC molecules in first pixels twist clockwise and rise in a plus direction; the LC molecules in second pixels twist clockwise and rise in a minus direction; the LC molecules in third pixels twist counterclockwise and rise in the plus direction; and the LC molecules in fourth pixels twist counterclockwise and rise in the minus direction. The pixels of the same type are arranged in rows such that their long sides are adjacent to one another.
