Liquid crystal display

摘要

A liquid crystal display includes first and second substrates facing each other, a liquid crystal layer between the substrates, first and second thin film transistors on the first substrate, and first and second pixel electrodes connected to the first and second thin film transistors, respectively, on the first substrate. A transverse center line bisects the first and second pixel electrodes into upper and lower portions. The first and second pixel electrodes include a plurality of branches which alternate. First and second regions include first and second intervals between adjacent branches of the first and second pixel electrodes, respectively, the first interval being larger then the second interval. At least one of the branches includes a first portion forming a first angle with the transverse center line, and a second portion forming a second angle with the transverse center line different from the first angle.
