An array substrate includes a gate line, a data line insulated from and crossing the gate line, and a pixel connected to the gate line and the data line. The pixel includes at least one thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line, and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor. The pixel electrode includes a trunk portion having a cross shape and a plurality of branch portions inclined to the trunk portion and spaced apart from each other. Each branch portion includes a first area extended from the trunk portion and a second area extended from the first area, and the second area has a width greater than a width of the first area.
