Description of the Related Art In a liquid crystal display device, it is necessary to orient the liquid crystal molecules in a specific direction in order to control the electro-optical characteristics of the liquid crystal. Generally, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, a polymer resin such as polyimide is used as the alignment film, and the surface of the polyimide alignment film 42 is specified by using a roller 40 having a woven cloth 41 on the surface. A rubbing method is used.

向処理ができない欠点があった。In the conventional alignment treatment method, fiber scraps are generated from the woven cloth on the roller surface, which cannot be completely removed by the cleaning treatment after rubbing and remains attached on the polyimide alignment film. It causes a defective gap between the substrates. Also, if you rub with a roller that does not generate fiber scraps,
Although it is possible to perform a clean alignment treatment, it is difficult to perform minute alignment treatment on every corner because it is easily affected by the substrate surface step. In other words, the conventional alignment treatment method has a drawback that uniform and reproducible alignment treatment cannot be performed.

理を行うことが可能となる。In the surface area of the alignment film irradiated with the ultraviolet laser, the surface of the polymer resin is vaporized by oxidizing the ozone in the atmosphere generated by the irradiation of the ultraviolet laser. The surface is recessed only in the area irradiated with the ultraviolet laser. In the present invention, since the unevenness is provided on the surface of the alignment film by using a chemical reaction in a non-contact manner, it is possible to solve the problems of the process defect due to the fiber scrap of the conventional method and the nonuniformity of the alignment treatment, and the uniform and reproducible alignment It becomes possible to perform processing.

It is reflected by the mirror 6 and reaches the liquid crystal alignment film 7 on the substrate 8. The spot-shaped irradiation portion on the liquid crystal alignment film 7 is recessed by a chemical reaction. Here, when the mirror 6 is rotated about the axis 9, one linear alignment groove 11 is first formed on the liquid crystal alignment film 7 as shown in FIG. further,
When the mirror 6 is rotated about the axis 10 while being slightly rotated about the axis 10, the second linear alignment groove 11 becomes 1
It is formed parallel to the main line. By repeating the same operation, the alignment treatment is performed on the liquid crystal alignment film 7. In addition,
It is possible to form a plurality of parallel alignment grooves 11 even if the substrate 8 is pitch-fed by a moving stage (not shown) instead of rotating the mirror about the axis 10.

Next, FIG. 3 showing the second embodiment will be described. A mask 21 having substantially the same size is provided on the substrate 8. As shown in FIG. 4, the mask 21 has a plurality of slits 22 for performing an alignment treatment. The ultraviolet laser may be narrowed down like the spot 23 so that one of the slits 22 can be irradiated.

Next, FIG. 5 showing the third embodiment will be described. A mask 31 having a small size is provided on the substrate 8 to divide the substrate area into a plurality of areas. The mask 31 has a plurality of slits 32 for performing an alignment treatment as shown in FIG. The ultraviolet laser squeezes the slit 32 of the mask 31 into a large spot like the spot 30 so that the slit 32 can be collectively irradiated. It should be noted that the ultraviolet lasers that are collectively irradiated do not have to be circular like the spot 30, and a shaping lens (not shown) is used instead of the lenses 3 and 4 so that the slit 32 in the mask 31 can be irradiated without waste. The irradiation shape may be rectangular or the like. When the mask 31 is irradiated with the ultraviolet laser like the spot 30 all together for a certain period of time, the ultraviolet rays reach the liquid crystal alignment film 7 only in the slits 32, so that they are recessed in a slit shape by a chemical reaction, and they are directly below the mask 31. Only the orientation process is performed.
