Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; an alignment layer disposed on at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate, the alignment layer comprising at least one vertical alignment monomer and a photo-alignment layer separated from and not bound to the at least one vertical alignment monomer; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the photo-alignment layer comprises a main chain and at least one side chain connected to the main chain, and the at least one side chain comprises at least one vertical photo-alignment material, wherein the at least one vertical alignment monomer and the photo-alignment layer form a single layer, and wherein the at least one vertical alignment monomer is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 26: wherein, in Chemical Formula 26, A is a substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 24 aryl group or a substituted or unsubstituted C 3 -C 24 cycloalkyl group, B is a flexible group, D is a first vertical functional group, s is 0 or 1, t is 0 or 1, and X is a thermo-reactive or photo-reactive group, wherein the flexible group B comprises at least one of —O—, —OCO—, —COO—, —OR wherein the first vertical functional group D comprises at least one of an aryl group in which a C wherein the thermo-reactive or photo-reactive group X comprises at least one of a silicon group, an acetylene group, and Chemical Formulae 23 to 25: wherein, in Chemical Formulae 24 and 25, R
