A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display cell including lamination of a lower polarizer, a first glass substrate having a metal oxide glass film formed on the side of the lower polarizer, a liquid crystal layer, a second glass substrate having a metal oxide glass film formed on the side opposite the liquid crystal layer, and an upper polarizer; and a backlight unit including a light guide plate, a diffusion plate, and light sources. The metal oxide glass films are a transparent film made of an organic/inorganic hybrid material. The films are formed by coating a solution of a metal alkoxide composition on individual outer surfaces of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, both of which have been roughened by a polishing process, and by hydrolyzing and curing the metal alkoxide composition.

In the liquid crystal display consisting of a first substrate ( ) and a second substrate ( ) facing each other, either or both of the first substrate ( ) and the second substrate ( ) is/are disposed in a non-display region, the spacers consisting of a photosensitive resin regulating the cell gaps between both substrates and and liquid crystal sandwiched between the first substrate ( ) and the second substrate ( ), either a dynamic hardness value or a plastic deformation hardness value is within a fixed range.

An abrading machine and abrading method are provided which permit a workpiece to be abraded without damage even in the case of heavy stock removal. A work holding member for mechanical abrasion includes a first holding member with a hole for receiving a workpiece and which transmits external drive force to the workpiece, and a second holding member placed on the first holding member and also having a hole for receiving the workpiece. The second holding member is removed after a predetermined volume of stock is abraded away; the workpiece is then abraded to a target thickness while being held by the first holding member alone. Thicknesses t and t of the first and second holding members are given by T >t &plus;t and (&frac12;)T &lE;t , where T and T represent the workpiece thickness before and after abrasion, respectively.
