Abstract

A display device that prevents occurrence of a phenomenon where a boundary portion of a pixel region becomes dark, and a method of manufacturing the same. The display device includes a first substrate arrangement including a domain forming layer having a depression pattern for forming a liquid crystal domain in a pixel region, and a pixel electrode arranged on the domain forming layer, a second substrate arrangement including a common electrode arranged on an entire surface facing the first substrate arrangement, a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first and second substrate arrangements and including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules and a reactive mesogen (RM) to fix the liquid crystal molecules to form the liquid crystal domain, a sealant arranged between the first and second substrate arrangements to adhere the first and second substrate arrangement together and a light blocker arranged between the sealant and the liquid crystal layer to block light incident from an external side of the sealant.
