Abstract
A display device includes a substrate having a display region and a peripheral region outside the display region; a liquid crystal layer; an insulating film between the liquid crystal layer and the substrate; an alignment film between the insulating film and the liquid crystal layer and having a front surface in contact with the liquid crystal layer; a pixel electrode having a front surface in contact with the alignment film in the display region; and an electrode having a front surface in contact with the alignment film in the peripheral region. Also, the electrode is supplied with an electric potential in the peripheral region. Each of the alignment film, the pixel electrode, and the electrode is formed on the insulating film. A distance from the substrate to the front surface of the electrode is longer than a distance from the substrate to the front surface of the pixel electrode.
