Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: an upper panel comprising an upper alignment layer; a lower panel comprising a lower alignment layer; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper panel and the lower panel and comprising liquid crystal molecules, wherein each of the liquid crystal molecules has different refractive indexes and different permittivities with respect to three axis directions, the upper alignment layer and the lower alignment layer are vertical alignment layers and have a rubbing direction, respectively, before the application of an electric field, a first axis of each liquid crystal molecule is aligned in a vertical direction by the vertical alignment layer, and a second axis of each liquid crystal molecule is aligned in a direction parallel to the rubbing direction, and after the application of the electric field, one having the largest permittivity of the axis directions of each liquid crystal molecule is aligned in parallel to the applied electric field.
