Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a plurality of bus lines formed on the first substrate such that they intersect with each other;
• a plurality of pixel regions defined by the bus lines;
• a thin film transistor formed in each of the pixel regions;
• a color filter layer formed in each of the pixel regions;
• a pixel electrode formed in each of the pixel regions;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• wherein the liquid crystal layer is located next to a polymeric structure formed by irradiating a mixture of liquid crystal materials and ultraviolet-curing monomers with ultraviolet light, and black display is achieved when no voltage or a subthreshold voltage is applied,
• wherein the second substrate is different from the first substrate in thickness.
