A curved display device includes: a display substrate curved along a first direction; an opposing substrate coupled with the display substrate and curved together with the display substrate; and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules interposed between the display substrate and the opposing substrate, where the opposing substrate includes: a common electrode; and a first alignment layer disposed on the common electrode and which aligns a first portion of the liquid crystal molecules at a first pre-tilt angle, and the display substrate includes: a pixel electrode disposed in each of a plurality of pixel areas, where a slit is defined in the pixel electrode; and a second alignment layer disposed on the pixel electrode and which aligns a second portion of the liquid crystal molecules at a second pre-tilt angle, which is greater than the first pre-tilt angle.
