Abstract: In an LCD device having wall electrodes, four kinds of pixels are used that impart different alignment properties to the liquid crystal molecules. 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.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device comprising a TFT substrate having pixels each including a common electrode formed on an organic passivation film, an interlayer insulating film formed so as to cover the common electrode, a pixel electrode having a slit and formed on the interlayer insulating film, a through-hole formed in the organic passivation film and the interlayer insulating film, and a source electrode electrically conducted to the pixel electrode via the through-hole. A taper angle at a depth of D/2 of the through-hole is equal to or more than 50 degrees. The pixel electrode covers part of a side wall of the through-hole but does not cover the remaining part of the side wall of the through-hole. This configuration facilitates the alignment film material to flow into the through-hole, thereby solving a thickness unevenness of the alignment film in vicinity of the through-hole.

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.
