LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A liquid crystal display device is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid crystal display device comprises: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer located between the first substrate and the second substrate; and an alignment film located in at least one of a gap between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer and a gap between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer. In the alignment film, a first region of a hydrophilic property and a second region of a hydrophobic property are periodically repeated along a direction parallel with the first substrate or the second substrate. The liquid crystal layer includes liquid crystal molecules and a self-aligned liquid crystal additive to form a uniform lying helix (ULH) structure.
