LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

摘要

Provided is a liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a pixel electrode formed on the first substrate and including a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel 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. The first sub-pixel electrode includes a first plate part. The second sub-pixel electrode includes a second plate part formed to surround the periphery of a first branch electrode and a plurality of second branch electrodes extending from the second plate part and defined by a plurality of first open portions, wherein end portions of the first open portions contiguous to the second plate part include extended portions wider than widths of the other portions of the first open portions. According to the present invention, the liquid crystal display can have an excellent response rate of liquid crystal molecules without reduction of an open aperture ratio while making side visibility similar to front visibility.
