A liquid crystal display according to an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate, a plurality of gate lines formed on the substrate, a plurality of data lines formed on the substrate to intersect the gate lines, and a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on the substrate. In the liquid crystal display, the pixel electrode includes a first main side substantially parallel with the gate line, a second main side substantially parallel with the data line, a first oblique side making a first oblique angle with respect to the first and second main sides, and a second oblique side making a second oblique angle with respect to the first and second main sides. The first oblique angle and the second oblique angle are different from each other.
