摘要

A liquid crystal display is provided which comprises a front panel (104) comprising a front alignment layer having an alignment direction, a rear panel (105) comprising a rear alignment layer having an alignment direction, and a liquid crystal layer (110) between the front and rear alignment layers. The liquid crystal layer has a rotational twist angle of about 90° and a pretilt angle of not more than 2°. The alignment, material and thickness of the liquid crystal layer are such that at the mid-point of the rotational twist, the direction (101) of liquid crystal directors coincide with an off-normal viewing direction of the liquid crystal display.
