Liquid crystal display

Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a first electrode disposed on the first substrate, a second electrode which is disposed on the first substrate and overlaps the first electrode, an insulating layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, a first alignment layer disposed on the first electrode and the second electrode, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and a second alignment layer disposed on the second substrate, where a first resistivity value of the first alignment layer is smaller than a second resistivity value of the second alignment layer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A liquid crystal display comprising:
 a first substrate;   a first electrode disposed on the first substrate;   a second electrode which is disposed on the first substrate and overlaps the first electrode;   an insulating layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;   a first alignment layer disposed on the first electrode and the second electrode;   a second substrate facing the first substrate; and   a second alignment layer disposed on the second substrate,   wherein a first thickness of the first alignment layer is larger than a second thickness of the second alignment layer.   
     
     
         2 . The liquid crystal display of  claim 1 , wherein
 a ratio of the second thickness of the second alignment layer to the first thickness of the first alignment layer is about 0.3 to about 0.7.   
     
     
         3 . The liquid crystal display of  claim 2 , wherein
 a first resistivity value of the first alignment layer is smaller than a second resistivity value of the second alignment layer.   
     
     
         4 . The liquid crystal display of  claim 3 , wherein
 a plurality of cutouts is defined in one of the first electrode and the second electrode.   
     
     
         5 . The liquid crystal display of  claim 4 , further comprising
 a color filter disposed between the second substrate and the second alignment layer.   
     
     
         6 . The liquid crystal display of  claim 1 , wherein
 a plurality of cutouts is defined in one of the first electrode and the second electrode.   
     
     
         7 . The liquid crystal display of  claim 6 , further comprising
 a color filter disposed between the second substrate and the second alignment layer.
