Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a first signal line disposed on a first substrate, a second signal line disposed on the first substrate and crossing the first signal line, a switching element disposed on the first substrate and connected to the first signal line and the second signal line, a first slope member disposed on the switching element and forming a ridge, a valley, and an inclined surface between the valley and the ridge, a pixel electrode disposed on the first slope member and connected to the switching element, a first alignment layer disposed on the pixel electrode and vertically aligned with respect to the surface of the first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a common electrode disposed on the second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first alignment layer and the common electrode.
