Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a first substrate including a first electrode;
• a second substrate including a second electrode, said second substrate being arranged substantially in parallel with said first substrate and with a predetermined gap therebetween;
• a liquid crystal layer formed by injecting liquid crystal material between said first substrate and said second substrate, long axes of liquid crystal molecules of said liquid crystal layer being arranged vertically to said first substrate and said second substrate;
• a first orientation layer formed on said first substrate, and arranging the liquid crystal molecules such that the long axes of the liquid crystal molecules are slanted or twisted by 0 to 10;
• and
• a second orientation layer formed on said second substrate and arranging the liquid crystal molecules such that the long axes of the liquid crystal molecules are slanted or twisted by 0 to 10°.
