An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid crystal display including: a first insulating substrate; a light blocking member positioned on the first insulating substrate and having a frame portion defining openings for pixels; a step compensated pattern positioned on the first insulating substrate and in one of the openings; a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate; a first electrode formed on the first insulating substrate in the same layer as a second domain dividing unit; a second electrode facing the first electrode and disposed in the same layer as the first domain dividing unit; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the step compensated pattern overlaps the first domain dividing unit or the second domain dividing unit.
