A liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided, in which a first
alignment layer is formed to have at least a pair of domains having
alignment directions that are perpendicular to each other on a unit
pixel, a second alignment layer is formed in the same direction as the
first alignment layer, and an optically compensated bend (OCB) mode
liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second alignment
layers to have at least a pair of domains having alignment directions
that are perpendicular to each other, so that horizontal and vertical
viewing angles can be improved and phase transition voltage can be
lowered.
