Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a first signal line disposed on the first substrate; a second signal line disposed on the first substrate and crossing the first signal line; a switching element disposed on the first substrate, the switching element being connected to the first signal line and the second signal line; a first slope member disposed on the switching element, the first slope member comprising a ridge, a valley, and an inclined surface between the ridge and the valley; a pixel electrode disposed on the first slope member, the pixel electrode being connected to the switching element; a first alignment layer disposed on the pixel electrode, the first alignment layer being vertically aligned with respect to a surface of the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a common electrode disposed on the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first alignment layer and the common electrode, wherein the inclined surface of the first slope member forms an angle in a range of 0.5 degrees to 5 degrees with a surface of the first substrate.
