Abstract

The liquid crystal display device of the present invention comprises first and second substrates; a first alignment layer on the first substrate, wherein the first alignment layer includes (spacer S is oxygen, m=10˜10,000), the functional group R includes photo-sensitive constituents and/or non-photo-sensitive constituents, the photo-sensitive constituent includes a material selected from the group consisting of cinnamoyl derivatives, the non-photo-sensitive constituent includes a material selected from the group consisting of C n H 2n , C n H 2n+1 , C n H 2n OH, COC n H 2n+1 , COC n H 2n , C n H 2n+1−x F x , C n H 2n− ( x−1) F (x−1) , C n H 2n−x F x OH, COC n H 2n+1−x F x (n=1˜10, x=1˜2n+1), and a combination thereof; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
