Abstract:
A liquid crystal display is provided that includes: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a switching element disposed on the first substrate; a pixel electrode connected to the switching element; a common electrode disposed on the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; an alignment layer disposed on at least one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode; and alignment aids in at least one of the liquid crystal layer and the alignment layer. The pixel electrode includes a first cutout, the common electrode includes a second cutout, and the first cutout and the second cutout are alternately arranged.
Abstract:
An alignment film includes a first pre-tilt functional group, a second pre-tilt functional group and a first vertical alignment functional group, which are linked to polysiloxane on a substrate. The first vertical alignment functional group includes a cyclic compound and is aligned substantially perpendicularly to the substrate. The first pre-tilt functional group is cross-linked to the second pre-tilt functional group and tilted with respect to the substrate.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device includes an upper substrate and a lower substrate facing each other, alignment layers, and a liquid crystal layer. An alignment layer is disposed on the upper substrate and an alignment layer is disposed on the lower substrate. The alignment layer includes a vertical alignment layer and a tilting alignment layer. The vertical alignment layer includes a polyimide-based polymer resin having an imidization ratio of about 65% to about 90%. The tilting alignment layer is present on an upper portion of the vertical alignment layer and includes a pattern. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate.
