Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a gate line, a data line, and a compensation voltage line disposed on an insulation substrate;
• a first passivation layer disposed on the gate line, the data line, and the compensation voltage line;
• a pixel electrode connected to the gate line and the data line, and a compensation electrode connected to the compensation voltage line, disposed on the first passivation layer;
• and
• a common electrode disposed on the first passivation layer,
• wherein the compensation electrode is disposed on a same layer with the pixel electrode,
• wherein the compensation voltage line is formed from a same layer as the data line,
• wherein the compensation voltage line supplies a compensation voltage to the compensation electrode and the data line supplies a data voltage to the pixel electrode,
• wherein the compensation electrode comprises a first portion that overlaps the data line, a second portion that overlaps the compensation voltage line and is spaced from the first portion, and a transversal portion that overlaps the gate line and connects the first portion and the second portion,
• wherein the transversal portion is wider than a width of the gate line,
• wherein the transversal portion is disposed between the first portion and the second portion,
• wherein the gate line is one of a plurality of gate lines and the pixel electrode is included in a plurality of rows of pixel electrodes
• wherein two gate lines are located between each row of pixel electrodes, a contact hole is located between the two gate lines, and the compensation electrode connects to the compensation voltage line through the contact hole, and
• wherein a polarity of the compensation voltage is opposite to a polarity of the data voltage.
