Abstract:
1. A display panel for a liquid crystal display, comprising: a plurality of pixels; a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other; a liquid crystal layer positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate; a pixel electrode positioned on the first substrate and positioned in one pixel of the plurality of pixels; and an opposing electrode facing the pixel electrode with the liquid crystal layer interposed between the pixel electrode and the opposing electrode, wherein at least one of the pixel electrode and the opposing electrode includes a liquid crystal inclination direction determining member, a transmission region of the one pixel includes a first region with a first average cell gap and a second region with a second average cell gap, wherein the first and second average cell gaps have different sizes in a cross-sectional view of the display panel, and wherein a cell gap of the liquid crystal layer changes to form a step difference in the cross-sectional view at a boundary between the first region and the second region, and the extension direction of the liquid crystal determining member changes at the boundary between the first region and the second region in a plane view of the display panel, and the first average cell gap over the first region is larger than the second average cell gap over the second region.
