Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a first subpixel electrode on the first substrate and including a first stem extending in a first direction, a first branch extending from the first stem, a second branch extending from the first stem and neighboring the first branch, and a third branch extending from the first stem between the first branch and the second branch;
• a second subpixel electrode on a same layer as the first subpixel electrode and including a separation electrode between the first branch and the second branch, wherein:
• the separation electrode extends at a distal end of the third branch in a direction away from the distal end, and
• the second subpixel electrode is a floating electrode such that the second subpixel electrode is not directly connected to the first subpixel electrode and does not receive a voltage directly from an external source;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a common electrode on the second substrate and overlapping the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode;
• and
• an auxiliary capacitor capacitively coupled between at least one of the first branch or the second branch and the separation electrode.
