Liquid crystal display and method for fabricating the same

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first flat electrode formed thereon;
• a first alignment layer formed on the first flat electrode;
• a second substrate disposed oppositely to the first substrate, wherein the second substrate comprises a gate line, a data line and a second flat electrode, wherein the gate line intersects with the data line to define a pixel region, the pixel region comprises at least one sub-pixel electrode region, and an area of the second flat electrode is smaller than that of the first flat electrode;
• a second alignment layer formed on the second flat electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the liquid crystal layer has chirality,
• wherein the sub-pixel electrode region comprises a first region, a second region, and a third region, and wherein the first region, the second region, and the third region respectively have a first pretilt angle, a second pretilt angle, and a third pretilt angle, and wherein the first region is surrounded by the second region, and wherein the second region is surrounded by the third region, and
• wherein the first flat electrode overlapped the gate line and the data line.
