Abstract:
A liquid crystal display, including: a first substrate; a pixel electrode formed on the first substrate and including a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode which are separated from each other; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a common electrode formed on the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first subpixel electrode includes a first part having a plurality of first branch electrodes, the second subpixel electrode includes a second part which is positioned to at least partially surround the first branch electrodes, and a plurality of second branch electrodes which extend from the second part and are defined by a plurality of first opens. Portions of the first opens proximate to the second part are wider than other portions of the first opens.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display including: a lower electrode; an upper electrode facing the lower electrode; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower electrode and the upper electrode and including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules aligned perpendicular to surfaces of the lower electrode and the upper electrode, wherein the lower electrode includes a center electrode disposed at the center thereof, a first cutout disposed at the center of the center electrode, and a plurality of minute branches disposed extending outwardly from a side edge of the center electrode, and the upper electrode includes a second cutout disposed between the minute branches and the first cutout, a third cutout connected to upper and lower vertices of the second cutout to form a boundary among a plurality of sub-regions together with the first cutout and a fourth cutout connected to upper and lower vertices of the second cutout.
