A liquid crystal display includes a pixel that includes a first sub-pixel chargeable with a first voltage and a second sub-pixel chargeable with a second voltage different from the first voltage, a pixel electrode that includes a first sub-pixel electrode in the first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel electrode in the second sub-pixel, a common electrode that faces the pixel electrode, and a liquid crystal layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode. The first sub-pixel electrode includes a first trunk portion and a plurality of first branch portions protruding from and extending from one side of the first trunk portion. The second sub-pixel electrode includes a second trunk portion and a plurality of second and third branch portions that protrude from both sides of the second trunk portion and extend substantially parallel to the first branch portions.
