A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on the first substrate and including a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode, the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode respectively including a cruciform stem part, and a plurality of fine branch parts which extends from the cruciform stem part, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and a second substrate facing the first substrate, the second substrate including a common electrode in which an opening corresponding to the cruciform stem part of the pixel electrode is defined.
