Abstract
A display device may include a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate may include a domain-forming layer including a depression pattern for forming a liquid crystal domain in a pixel area and a pixel electrode formed on the domain-forming layer. The second substrate may face the first substrate. The second substrate may include a common electrode formed on the entire surface thereof. The liquid crystal layer may be disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The liquid crystal layer may include a reactive mesogen (RM) which fixes liquid crystal molecules formed in the liquid crystal domain. Since a liquid crystal domain may be formed without a separate pattern on a common electrode, a display device having an enhanced aperture ratio and an enhanced viewing angle may be manufactured.
