Abstract
A source line is provided on a layer above a substrate, and as a whole, extends in a first direction while meandering along the main surface of the substrate. An alignment film is provided on a layer above the source line, and specifies the alignment direction of a liquid crystal. A first protruding section along the source line is formed on the surface of the alignment film. In a cross-section that is parallel to the first direction and perpendicular to the substrate, and that passes through the source line, the inclination of an inclined end face on one side of the first protruding section in the first direction is steeper than the inclination of each inclined end face on the other side of the protruding section.
