A liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal display device having stable liquid crystal alignment, excellent display quality, and high display response speed are obtained. In this liquid crystal panel, uneven portions for bending the alignment of liquid crystal molecules towards the direction along the substrate surface are installed on the surfaces where the liquid crystal layer contacts its adjacent layers, and the liquid crystal layer comprises a liquid crystal having a positive dielectric constant anisotropy, and a polymer obtained by subjecting a polymerizable compound in the liquid crystal layer to irradiation with active energy rays, with or without application of a voltage.
