A liquid crystal display device which suppresses the occurrence of image sticking and dropping marks during manufacture without degrading the characteristics such as dielectric anisotropy, viscosity, nematic phase upper limit temperature, rotational viscosity (γ 1 ), etc., and a method for manufacturing the liquid crystal display device are provided. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal layer which contains a liquid crystal composition and which is held between a substrate having a common electrode and a color filer and a substrate having a plurality of pixels and pixel electrodes of the respective pixels, wherein one or both of the substrates have, without having an alignment film, an alignment control layer formed by using one or more tri- or higher-functional (meth)acrylate compounds and one or more di- or mono-functional (meth)acrylate compounds. The liquid crystal display device is applied to a liquid crystal display device for liquid crystal TV or the like. |
