A liquid crystal display device (LCD) including an OCB mode liquid crystal layer is provided, in which an even number of domains are formed in one unit pixel, the number of domains being at least two, and the arrangement of liquid crystal (LC) molecules in the domains is controlled so that the LCD has wide vertical and horizontal viewing angles. Also, a disclination line formed in the unit pixel allows the LC molecules to readily make a transition to an initial bend phase.
