Abstract
A liquid crystal display including a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal sealed between the substrates; alignment regulating structures formed on at least one of the substrates; and a plurality of pixel regions having both of a first area in which the alignment regulating structures are disposed at first intervals and which has a first threshold voltage for driving of the liquid crystal and a second area in which the alignment regulating structures are disposed at second intervals smaller than the first intervals and which has a second threshold voltage lower than the first threshold voltage. Each of the first intervals is a distance between adjacent alignment regulating structures along a direction parallel to one of the substrates in the first area and each of the second intervals is a distance between adjacent alignment regulating structures along a direction parallel to one of the substrates in the second area.
