The disclosure relates to a liquid crystal display device and a method for manufacturing the same. The liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a first alignment layer provided on the first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a second alignment layer provided on the second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate and including liquid crystal molecules. Each of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer includes a main alignment layer and an alignment forming layer provided on the main alignment layer. The alignment forming layer is obtained by polymerizing two or more reactive mesogens having light absorption peaks in different wavelengths from each other.
