Claim:
1. A curved liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate having a curved shape; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines on the first substrate; a plurality of thin film transistors connected to the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of data lines; a plurality of color filters on the plurality of thin film transistors; a plurality of pixel electrodes and common electrodes on the plurality of color filters, the plurality of pixel electrodes and common electrodes overlapping with each other with a first insulating layer therebetween; a second substrate having a curved shape, the second substrate facing the first substrate; vertical alignment layers on inner sides of the first substrate and the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the vertical alignment layers; a shielding electrode on the first substrate, the shielding electrode being at a position overlying an interface between two adjacent color filters of the plurality of color filters; and a column spacer overlapping the shielding electrode, wherein liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are aligned to be vertical to surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate when an electric field is not formed in the liquid crystal layer.
