Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a pixel region formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; an alignment layer formed over at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate and applying an orientation force to the liquid crystal layer; and an insulating projection having a slant region, the projection formed on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, and disposed only near a first edge of the pixel region and influencing the liquid crystal layer to exhibit a stable bent alignment within the pixel region, wherein the slant region has a portion extending obliquely from at least one of the surface of the first substrate and the surface of the second substrate wherein a thickness of the insulating projection varies along with the slant region.
