ABSTRACT:
Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a new structure to reduce alignment defects caused by a problem inherent in an alignment layer without changing the alignment layer itself. According to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, in a method for fabricating a liquid crystal device, the liquid crystal device has a pair of substrates, liquid crystal therebetween, and an alignment layer at least on the inner surface of the substrate. The alignment layer is in contact with the liquid crystal. The method includes forming an alignment layer including inorganic columnar structures tilted towards a predetermined direction on the substrate and filling a space between the pair of substrates with the liquid crystal. In filling, the liquid crystal is filled so as to flow on the alignment layer in a direction parallel to the predetermined direction.
