A liquid crystal display includes a bottom substrate, and gate and data lines (20, 70) formed on the bottom substrate while intersecting each other to define pixel regions. A pixel electrode (91-95) is formed at each pixel region while being partitioned into a plurality of partitions (91-93) by way of an opening pattern. A thin film transistor is connected to the pixel electrode, the gate line (20), and the data line (70). A top substrate faces the bottom substrate with a common electrode (400). The common electrode (400) has an opening pattern (410, 420, 430) for partitioning the plurality of partitions (91-93) into a plurality of micro domains. The micro domains are classified into first and second horizontal micro domains and first vertical micro domains depending upon the average direction of the liquid crystal molecules within the relevant regions. The second horizontal micro domains are arranged between the first vertical micro domains and the data lines (70) placed at the left and right sides of the first vertical micro domains. The first horizontal micro domains are disposed at at least one of the top and bottom sides of the first vertical micro domains. |
