A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate;
- a pixel electrode on the first substrate;
- a common electrodes on the second substrate;
- a first alignment layer on the pixel electrode;
- a second alignment layer on the common electrode;
- a liquid crystal layer between the first and second alignment layers, liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer disposed in a bend state;
- and
- a hydrogen-bonded structure in the liquid crystal layer, the hydrogen-bonded structure having a bow shape to maintain the bend state of the liquid crystal molecules.
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- interposing a liquid crystal layer between first and second substrates disposed facing each other, the liquid crystal layer including self assembled hydrogen-bonded fibers;
- heating the liquid crystal layer to a first temperature such that liquid crystal molecules and the self assembled hydrogen-bonded fibers have an isotropic state;
- and
- cooling the liquid crystal layer to a second temperature less than the first temperature and applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer such that the liquid crystal molecules have a bend state and the self assembled hydrogen-bonded fibers form a hydrogen-bonded structure having a bow shape.
