Abstract
A first and/or second alignment film is a photo-alignment film on which alignment division is performed. Each pixel has multiple alignment regions having different alignment directions of liquid crystal molecules of a liquid crystal layer by the alignment division. The number of times of exposure in each alignment region for the alignment division is two or more and the same number among the regions; in each time of exposure for the alignment division, exposure is performed on two or more alignment regions along an arrangement direction, the previous numbers of times of exposure in alignment regions to be exposed in each times of exposure are the same among the regions; and the angle formed by the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer in each region of the alignment regions and a direction where the polarizing axis of a polarizing plate extends is 45°.
