Abstract

In an exposure device, picture elements or pixels of a liquid crystal display device are split into two parts in the width direction, and exposed from different directions, whereby an alignment material film is photoaligned. The exposure device causes two beams of exposure light outputted by two light sources (a first light source and a second light source to be transmitted through respectively different light transmission regions in a predetermined pattern of a mask, to irradiate regions of an alignment material film formed on a member for exposure, which regions correspond to split regions of pixels or picture elements. The exposure device causes the two beams of exposure light to mutually intersect on the optical path between the first and second light sources and the alignment material film.
