Patent ID: 8318270

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: a first substrate including a pixel electrode defining pixel areas, the pixel electrode electrically connected to a switching element disposed in each pixel area and including a micro-slit pattern, a first alignment layer disposed on the pixel electrode and a first reactive mesogen layer disposed on the first alignment layer; a second substrate including a common electrode layer disposed on an entire portion of the second substrate facing the first substrate, a second alignment layer disposed on the common electrode layer and a second reactive mesogen layer disposed on the second alignment layer; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates and including a first liquid crystal compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, a second liquid crystal compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 and a third liquid crystal compound represented by Chemical Formula 3, wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, fluorine or chlorine, and each —CH 2 — of R 1 and R 2 is independently substitutable with —O—, —CH═CH—, —CO—, —OCO— or —COO—, each hydrogen atom of the phenyl groups of Chemical Formula 1 is independently substitutable with —OCF 3 , —OCH 3 , fluorine or chlorine, each of Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 independently represents —CH 2 CH 2 —, —CH═CH—, —CF 2 O—, —OCF 2 —, —CH 2 O—, —OCH 2 —, —COO—, —OCO—, or a single bond, each of A and E independently represents a single bond or and each of B, D and G independently represents a single bond, except when A, B and D simultaneously represent a single bond, and except when E and G simultaneously represent a single bond, each of R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms and each —CH 2 — included in R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 is independently substitutable with —O—, —CH═CH—, —CO—, —OCO— or —COO—, each of Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 3 and Y 4 independently represents —CH 2 CH 2 —, —CH═CH—, —CF 2 O—, —OCF 2 —, —CH 2 O—, OCH 2 —, —COO—, —OCO— or a single bond, and each of W 1 and W 2 independently represents fluorine, chlorine, —OCF 3 or —OCH 3 .
