Patent ID: 8797485

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate arranged opposite to each other to form a gap; a first alignment film provided on the first substrate at the gap side; a second alignment film provided on the second substrate at the gap side; a cured material being provided on at least one of the first alignment film and the second alignment film at the gap side; a liquid crystal layer of liquid crystal molecules provided in the gap; a pixel electrode including a plurality of elongated members arranged with spaces therebetween and provided on the first substrate at the gap side, wherein the plurality of elongated members are electrically connected to each other; a common electrode configured to apply a voltage to the liquid crystal layer in cooperation with the pixel electrode and provided on the second substrate at the gap side, wherein the plurality of elongated members includes: first elongated members extending in a first direction in plan view; second elongated members extending in a second direction in plan view which makes substantially 90 degrees with respect to the first direction; third elongated members extending in a third direction in plan view which makes substantially 180 degrees with respect to the first direction; and forth elongated members extending in a fourth direction in plan view which makes substantially 180 degrees with respect to the second direction, wherein the cured material regulates alignment directions of the liquid crystal molecules.
