Method of fabricating liquid crystal display and liquid crystal display obtained by the method

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD), the method comprising:

• forming a liquid crystal layer comprising liquid crystal molecules and monomers between a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate and second substrate facing each other;
• applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer;
• performing, while the electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, a primary curing operation on the monomers;
• removing, after the primary curing operation is complete, the electric field;
• and
• performing, after removing the electric field, a secondary curing operation on remaining monomers,
• wherein at least one of the primary curing operation and the secondary curing operation comprises maintaining the liquid crystal in a nematic state.

A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• and
• a cured liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and second substrate, the cured liquid crystal layer comprising liquid crystal molecules and copolymers but not comprising monomers,
• wherein the copolymers are obtained by
• applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer,
• performing, while the electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, a primary curing operation on monomers in the liquid crystal layer,
• removing, after the primary curing operation is complete, the electric field, and
• performing, after removing the electric field, a secondary curing operation on remaining monomers in the liquid crystal layer, and
• wherein at least one of the primary curing operation and the secondary curing operation is performed while maintaining the liquid crystal layer in a nematic state.
