The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal display comprises: a liquid crystal panel including a vertically aligned liquid crystal sealed between a first substrate and a second substrate; a first compensation layer stacked on one surface of the first substrate; a first polarizing layer stacked on one surface of the first compensation layer; a second compensation layer stacked on one surface of the second substrate; and a second polarizing layer stacked on one surface of the second compensation layer. The first compensation layer is formed of a polyimide-based copolymer. The polyimide-based copolymer is a copolymer of a monomer mixture including a maleimide-based compound and an aromatic vinyl-based compound. Thus, the lateral viewing angle of the vertically aligned liquid crystal display may be significantly improved.
