A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate and a second substrate which face each other and each include a display area and a peripheral area, a liquid crystal layer in the display areas and between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a conductive sealant combining the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a common electrode in the display and peripheral areas of the first substrate. The second substrate includes a first and signal lines in the peripheral area of the second substrate, a first insulating layer on the first signal line and the second signal line, and a conductor on the first insulating layer in the peripheral area and connected to the first signal line through a contact hole. The common electrode includes a cutout corresponding to the conductor, and the cutout is at a corner of the display areas.
