ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method for forming an alignment layer to align the orientation direction of liquid crystals. In an apparatus10for forming an alignment layer according to the present invention, the shape of an edge32aof a mask12for forming a slit14is determined by integrating the orientation direction of liquid crystals. The liquid crystals can be uniformly oriented by the edge32ahaving such shape. This leads to the manufacturing of a liquid crystal display free from irregularity in brightness and color.
