A liquid crystal display includes: an upper substrate and a lower substrate spaced apart from each other, forming a cell gap therebetween. A liquid crystal layer is disposed in the cell gap between the upper substrate and the lower substrate and has liquid crystal molecules. A common electrode is disposed on the lower substrate facing the liquid crystal layer. A passivation layer is disposed on the lower substrate and covers the common electrode. Multiple pixel electrodes are disposed on the passivation layer. A planar electrode is disposed on the upper substrate facing the liquid crystal layer, and is provided with a first biased voltage. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are vertically aligned at a voltage-off state. In some cases, the upper substrate has a first anchoring energy W2 and the lower substrate has a second anchoring energy W2, and W2 is weaker than W1.
