Abstract

A liquid crystal screen display is disclosed which is capable of restraining occurrence of display unevenness. In the display of the invention, a conductive member to which a negative voltage is applied is placed between a substrate and an alignment layer so as to be in partial contact with the alignment layer. Uneven ion distribution attributable to ion generation within broken or pin hole parts of an overcoat film is restrained, for instance, by exposing gate signal lines etc. to the alignment layer so that ions are intentionally generated in the regions of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the exposed regions.
