Provided is a liquid crystal display apparatus. The liquid crystal display apparatus may include a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer. The first pixel electrode is disposed in a first area, and includes a plurality of outer branches spaced apart from each other. The second pixel electrode is disposed in a second area spaced apart from the first area with an electrode gap therebetween and surrounded by the first area, and includes a plurality of middle branch portions spaced apart from each other. An extending direction of the electrode gap forms one of an acute angle or an obtuse angle with an extending direction of each of the outer branch portions, and the extending direction of the electrode gap forms one of an acute angle or an obtuse angle with an extending direction of each of the middle branch portions.
