A liquid crystal display is provided. The liquid crystal display includes a pair of substrates; and a pixel electrode and a common electrode provided on the pair of substrates and facing each other. The pixel electrode includes: a cross pattern at a center thereof; a plate electrode surrounding the cross pattern; and a plurality of minute branch electrodes extending in a diagonal direction outward from the plate electrode. A partial extension structure of the plate electrode is formed in at least a partial boundary region located between the plate electrode and the plurality of minute branch electrodes.
