Abstract
A display device includes a first panel having a pixel electrode, a second panel having a common electrode facing the first panel, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first panel and the second panel and having vertically-aligned liquid crystal molecules, a first alignment layer disposed on the pixel electrode, and a second alignment layer disposed on the common electrode. At least one of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer divides the pixel electrode into a plurality of domains and is formed to have a plurality of pretilt directions which pretilt the vertically-aligned liquid crystal molecules in a domain of the plurality of domains. A sum of horizontal component directions of a pretilt direction of the plurality of pretilt directions is substantially equivalent to a sum of horizontal component directions of a fringe field at a peripheral boundary of the pixel electrode in the domain.
