Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a gate line disposed on the first substrate, a data line disposed substantially perpendicular to the gate line on the first substrate, and a plurality of thin film transistors electrically connected to the gate line and the data line; a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on the plurality of thin film transistors, respectively; a plurality of pixels, each pixel including one of the plurality of pixel electrodes, each pixel including a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel adjacent to the first sub-pixel; a first organic alignment layer disposed on the plurality of pixel electrodes and including at least two alignment regions each having a different alignment direction; a second substrate corresponding to the first substrate; a common electrode disposed on the second substrate; and a second organic alignment layer disposed on the common electrode and including at least two alignment regions each having a different alignment direction from each other and from the alignment directions of the at least two alignment regions of the first organic alignment layer, wherein the first organic alignment layer is formed by radiating an ion beam at a radiation angle tilted in a direction that is substantially parallel with the data line, and the second organic alignment layer is formed by radiating an ion beam at a radiation angle tilted in a direction that is substantially parallel with the gate line, and wherein alignment directions in any pair of adjacent domains defined by adjacent first and second sub-pixels are parallel to a boundary therebetween.
