A liquid crystal display apparatus has a drive substrate and a facing electrode substrate superimposed and joined each other via spacers and seal materials, wherein the drive substrate carries drive devices for driving liquid crystal material, the facing electrode substrate carries facing electrodes facing to the drive devices. Liquid crystal material is injected between the drive substrate and the facing electrode substrate. The seal materials include an outer seal formed along outer periphery of the drive substrate and the facing electrode substrate and inner seals formed inside of the outer seal, and a space between the out side part of an effective picture element area having drive devices and an inside portion of the outer seal facing to the effective picture element area or an inside portion of the inner seal can be formed in approximately uniform.

Liquid crystal display apparatus and method for fabricating the same

There is provided an alignment method of an opposing layout substrate and a device for surely preventing that the internal surface of the substrates (alignment film) is damaged even when the spacer provided between the substrates has a kind of grain size. In the alignment method of opposing layout substrate which performs alignment of two substrates under the condition that the particle material is provided between two substrates provided opposed with each other, the alignment is performed under the condition that a recessed area is formed to at least one opposing surface of two substrates.
