An exemplary liquid crystal display (LCD) (200) includes a first substrate (211), a second substrate (212) opposite to the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer (213) sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, a plurality of first common electrodes (241) and first pixel electrodes (242) provided. at the first substrate, and a plurality of second common electrodes (251) and second pixel electrodes (252) provided at the second substrate. The first common electrodes and the first pixel electrodes, and the second common electrodes and the second pixel electrodes, respectively produce two electric fields in the liquid crystal layer. A combined strength of the electric fields is uniformly distributed in the liquid crystal layer, so that all the liquid crystal molecules can be sufficiently twisted. Thus a viewing angle, a degree of chroma, and a transmission ratio of the LCD are improved.
