A liquid crystal display (LCD) device and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The LCD comprises, a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and includes liquid crystal molecules, an alignment film disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the first substrate, a pixel electrode disposed between the alignment film and the first substrate, a photo-curable layer between the liquid crystal layer and the alignment films, a common electrode disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the second substrate, and a vertical alignment inducing layer between the common electrode and the liquid crystal layer. The vertical alignment inducing layer includes a self-aligned vertical alignment inducer, and the vertical alignment inducer includes a hydrophilic group, and an affinity liquid crystal group having high affinity with the liquid crystal molecules.
