A liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on the first substrate and including a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode including a cross stem and a plurality of minute branches extending from the cross stem; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a first alignment layer disposed on the first substrate and the pixel electrode; a second alignment layer disposed on an inner surface of the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer injected between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a prepolymer, a reaction initiator, and a polymerization reactor, of which a content of the reaction initiator is higher than a content of the polymerization reactor.
