Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes a first insulating substrate, a pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating substrate, a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate, a common electrode disposed on the second insulating substrate without patterning, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second insulating substrates. The pixel electrode is divided into a plurality of domains that include a plurality of microelectrodes arranged substantially parallel to each other and are connected through a connecting pattern. The connecting pattern is is formed by connecting the end of microelectrodes of each domain to the side of microelectrodes of adjacent domains.
