Liquid crystal display having oriented pixel elements

A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising:

• an insulating substrate;
• and
• a plurality of pixels disposed on the insulating substrate and comprising a first row of pixels, a second row of pixels, a third row of pixels, and a fourth row of pixels,
• wherein the second row and the third row are positioned between the first row and the fourth row,
• wherein the second row is positioned between the first row and the third row,
• wherein no intervening row of pixels or subpixels is positioned between the first row and the second row, between the second row and the third row, or between the third row and the fourth row,
• wherein each pixel in first and second rows has a first domain orientation and does not have a second domain orientation in a plan view of the LCD,
• wherein each pixel in third and fourth rows has the second domain orientation and does not have the first domain orientation in the plan view of the LCD,
• wherein the second domain orientation is different from the first domain orientation,
• wherein each pixel of the first row of pixels and the second row of pixels has a pixel edge which is parallel to the first domain orientation, and
• wherein each pixel of the third row of pixels and the forth row of pixels has a pixel edge which is parallel to the second domain orientation.
