A liquid crystal display includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode facing the lower electrode, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. The lower electrode includes: a center electrode disposed at its center and the center electrode has a polygonal shape including diagonal sides, left and right sides, and upper and lower sides; as first cutout disposed at a center of the center electrode; a plurality of minute branches extending out from the diagonal sides; and a plurality of auxiliary minute branches extending out from the left and right sides. The upper electrode includes a second cutout disposed between the minute branches and the first cutout, and a third cutout connected to the second cutout to form a boundary between a plurality of subregions together with the first cutout, and the left and right sides are inclined at a predetermined angle.
