Abstract:
A liquid crystal display, comprising:a first substrate including a first insulating substrate and a first electrode and a wiring formed on the first insulating substrate; a second substrate opposing the first substrate and including a second insulating substrate and a second electrode formed over an entire surface of the second insulating substrate, the second electrode generating an electric field with the first electrode; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer have an alignment that is initially horizontal along a direction and becomes bent symmetrical in relation to an imaginary plane that is parallel to the first substrate and the second substrate and located near a midpoint between the first substrate and the second substrate due to the electric field; and wherein an initial inclination angle of the liquid crystal molecules in relation to at least one of the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate near an edge of the first electrode are larger than an initial inclination angle of the liquid crystal molecules near an inner portion of the first electrode.
