Abstract
Provided is a liquid crystal display including: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate; an opposing electrode disposed on the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer in vertical alignment mode interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules; and a tilt direction determining member determining tilt directions of the liquid crystal molecules when an electric field is generated in the liquid crystal layer, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes a first area and a second area in each of the first area and the second area, the liquid crystal molecules being aligned to have a pretilt without the electric field in the liquid crystal layer, and a pretilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the first area is larger a pretilt angle that of the liquid crystal molecules in the second area.
