PURPOSE: An LCD and a method of manufacture thereof, and a substrate and a method of manufacture thereof are provided to achieve a V-state at a lower applied voltage than if the nucleation region is not provided by providing the nucleation region. CONSTITUTION: An upper and lower substrates(1,1') are provided with an alignment layer(2,2'). A liquid crystal layer(3) is provided between the substrates(1,1'). The lower substrate(1') has a low pre-tilt in regions A and C, so that an H-state is stable in these regions when no voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer. Region B has a high pre-tilt on the lower substrate(1'), so that a HAN state is stable in region B under zero applied voltage. When a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer(3) a V-state is formed at the interface between the HAN-state and the H-state. This V-state then displaces the H-states in regions A and C. The high pre-tilt region, region B, is acting as a nucleation region. The H-state forms at a lower applied voltage than if the nucleation region is not provided.
