Liquid crystal display device and method of manufacturing the same

A liquid crystal display device having a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein said first substrate comprises a first transparent substrate, first transparent electrodes provided on said first transparent substrate, orientation control slope portions which are slopewise formed in different directions within each pixel and composed of an organic film and provided on said first transparent electrodes, and a first orientation layer coated on said orientation control slope portions;

• said second substrate comprises a second transparent substrate, one or more second transparent electrodes provided on said second transparent substrate, and a second orientation layer coated on said one or more second transparent electrodes;
• and an opaque shielding electrode is disposed within each pixel at a boundary portion at which the slope direction is varied in each of said orientation control slope portions.
