Disclosed is a liquid crystal display. According to an exemplary embodiment, a liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate; a first electrode disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a second electrode disposed on the second substrate and facing the first electrode; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a first silicon nitride film formed between the liquid crystal layer and at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein a first region in which the first silicon nitride film is disposed between either of the first electrode and the second electrode and the liquid crystal layer and a second region in which the first silicon nitride film is not disposed between the first electrode and the liquid crystal layer and between the second electrode and the liquid crystal layer are formed, and a first electric field generated between the first and second electrodes in the first region is different from a second electric field generated between the first and second electrodes in the second region.
