Liquid crystal display and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

A liquid crystal display including a couple of substrates facing each other and pixel electrodes formed on inside surfaces of the couple of substrates, each of the pixel electrodes has gaps. A liquid crystal layer is sealed between the couple of substrates with the pixel electrodes formed and the gaps are alternately disposed to form a staggered arrangement between the pair of pixel electrodes. The liquid crystal layer has pre-tilt regions where liquid crystal molecules are tilted. In these regions, the spacing between adjacent pre-tilt regions is smaller than spacing in the substrate surface direction between the gap of a pixel electrode on one substrate and the gap of a pixel electrode on the other substrate.
