Abstract
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.
