A liquid crystal display includes a first insulating substrate, pixel electrodes disposed on the first insulating substrate and divided into a plurality of domains, each domain including micro-concave stripes and micro-convex stripes arranged in a specific direction, a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate, a common electrode, which is not patterned, disposed on the second insulating substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second insulating substrates and including liquid crystal molecules. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned perpendicular to the first and second insulating substrates when an electric field is not applied to the liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal molecules are inclined in an extension direction of the micro-concave stripes and the micro-convex stripes when an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer.
