LCD device with an alignment mark having same material as microlenses
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate having a first alignment mark formed in a non-display area, and a display area including a pixel section comprised of a plurality of pixels; and
a second substrate having a lens array comprised of micro focus lenses corresponding to said pixel section, and a second alignment mark comprised of transparent material identical to the material for said micro focus lenses, and placed at a specified gap opposite said first substrate.

Abstract
To provide a liquid crystal display device and manufacturing method thereof for preventing a drop in the pixel slot opening and focus rates due to poor alignment precision of the drive substrate and microlens which face each other, and for improving the focus rate and production efficiency. A lens group comprised of a plurality of microlenses is integrated into the opposing substrate. A second alignment mark is formed at the desired position within the display area on the opposing substrate. This second alignment mark is formed along grooves between numerous protrusions having a semi-circular shaped cross section so the outer contours of the face form a cross shape of a specific width. These protrusions are made of the same material (for instance transparent plastic) and shape (semi-circular cross section) as those of the microlens at the display area, forming a lens shape. The second alignment mark is made together and simultaneously with the forming of the microlens in such a way that there is no deviation between the second alignment mark and the microlens opposite it.
