A liquid crystal display device includes a first insulating substrate, a gate line and a data line which are formed on the first insulating substrate and intersect each other insulatedly to define a pixel area. A pixel electrode is electrically coupled to the data line and includes a first stem electrode which is parallel with the data line, a plurality of first branch electrodes which are connected with the first stem electrode and substantially parallel with each other, and a first edge electrode which is located at a connecting area between the first stem electrode and the first branch electrode and extends to an area between the first branch electrodes. A second insulating substrate is provided which includes a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate, the common electrode including a plurality of second branch electrodes which are located between the first branch electrodes. The second branch electrodes are substantially parallel with the first branch electrodes. A second stem electrode connects the plurality of second branch electrodes, and a second edge electrode is located at a connecting area between the second branch electrode and the second stem electrode, and the second edge electrode extending in an area between the second branch electrodes. A liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate.
