A display includes: a first support member (FSM); a second support member (SSM); joint units (JUs) arranged in a first direction (FD), extending in a second direction (SD), and between the FSM and the SSM; and a flexible display module on the FSM, the SSM, and the JUs. Each JU includes: a body part (BP) extending in the SD; and protruding parts (PP) on opposing sides of the BP, each PP having a fan shape (FS) and being on an upper end of the BP. Each PP includes: an arced curved surface (CS), and a first inclined surface (FIS) and a second inclined surface (SIS) defined as radii of the FS. An angle between the FIS and a third direction (TD) is equivalent to an angle formed between the SIS and the TD. The CSs of some PP on a same upper end of the BP face each other.

An alignment layer is formed by forming an alignment solution on a base substrate, baking the alignment solution to form an alignment layer, and irradiating light having a wavelength of about 280 nanometers to about 340 nanometers to the alignment layer, thereby aligning the alignment layer. A liquid crystal display is manufactured using the method of forming the alignment layer.

In a liquid crystal display, a first alignment layer formed on a first substrate includes a first region aligned in a first direction and a second region aligned in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a second alignment layer formed on a second substrate facing the first substrate includes a third region aligned in a third direction different from the first direction and a fourth region aligned in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction. The liquid crystal molecules interposed between the first and second alignment layers are aligned in different directions in different domains defined by the first to fourth regions. A pixel electrode includes an extension part extending in at least one of the first to fourth directions. The aperture ratio and the light transmittance of the liquid crystal display are improved.
