To provide a
liquid crystal display device having a high level of
liquid crystal vertical alignment, good optical properties,
high adhesion between a
liquid crystal layer and a liquid
crystal alignment film, and being capable of maintaining these characteristics even in high temperature-
high humidity or light-illuminated environment. This
liquid crystal display device has a liquid
crystal layer made of a cured product formed by irradiating a liquid
crystal composition disposed between a pair of substrates provided with electrodes with
ultraviolet light from an
ultraviolet irradiation apparatus and at least one of the substrates being provided with a liquid crystal alignment film to vertically align liquid crystal, wherein the liquid crystal composition comprises a curable resin, a
bifunctional monomer, a compound of the following formula [1-1a], a compound of the following formula [2-1a] and a
monomer having at least one polar group selected from the group consisting of a
hydroxy group, a carboxy group and a
phosphoric acid group, and the liquid crystal alignment film is obtainable from a liquid crystal alignment treating agent containing a
polymer having a
side chain structure of the following formula [4-1 a] or formula [4-2a],wherein T1 is the following formula [1-a] to formula [1-e], T2 is a
single bond, etc., T3 is a
benzene ring, etc., T4 is a
single bond, etc., T5 is a
benzene ring, etc., T6 is a C1-18
alkyl group, etc., and nT is from 0 to 4,wherein TA is a C1-5
alkyl group,wherein S1 is the following formula [2-a] to formula [2-e], S2 is a C2-18 linear or branched alkylene group, etc., and nS is from 1 to 4),wherein SA and SC are each a
single bond, etc., and SB is a
hydrogen atom, etc.,wherein X1 and X3 are each a single bond, etc., X2 is a single bond, etc., X4 is a
benzene ring, etc., X5 is a benzene ring, etc., X6 is a C1-18
alkyl group, etc., and n is an integer of from 0 to 4,—X7—X8 [4-2a]wherein X7 is a single bond, etc., and X8 is a C8-18 alkyl group, etc.
