Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate; an opposing electrode disposed on the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer in a vertical alignment mode interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules; and a tilt direction determining member configured to determine tilt directions of the liquid crystal molecules when an electric field is generated in the liquid crystal layer, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes a first area and a second area, in each of the first area and the second area, the liquid crystal molecules being aligned to have a pretilt without the electric field generated in the liquid crystal layer, and a pretilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the first area is larger than a pretilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the second area.
