In-plane switching liquid crystal display having fast response time

A method of assembling in-plane switching liquid crystal display, comprising:

• providing a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to each other;
• disposing a twisted nematic liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates;
• disposing a first polarizer at an outer surface of the first subs trate, and a second polaiizer at an outer surface of the second substrate, polarizing axes of the first and second polarizers being parallel to each other;
• disposing a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of common electrodes at the second substrate;
• and
• disposing a first alignment layer at an inner surface of the first substrate, and a second alignment layer disposed at an inner surface of the second substrate;
• wherein the first alignment layer maintains a rubbing direction of approximately 90° relative to the second alignment layer, and the second alignment layer has an anchoring strength greater than that of the first alignment layer.
