A liquid crystal display device and manufacturing method

Device and manufacturing method of the present invention provides a liquid crystal display. Embodiment of the liquid crystal display device having an array substrate and a counter substrate constituting a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between opposed. The array substrate includes: a first electrode, a second electrode and an alignment sustaining layer. The first electrode is a comb-like, and is electrically connected to the active element. Via the second electrode is a first electrode and an insulating layer is formed, and is comb-shaped, comprising a first portion with respect to the electrodes are exposed in the arrangement direction of the comb teeth. The alignment sustaining layer is formed on the face in contact with the liquid crystal layer, and in the arrangement direction of the comb teeth relative to the direction of the first electrode exposed along the second pair of electrodes of the liquid crystal pretilt angle.
