Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a first subpixel electrode disposed on the first substrate;
• an insulating layer disposed on the first subpixel electrode;
• a second subpixel electrode disposed on the insulating layer and overlapping the first subpixel electrode;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a common electrode disposed on the second substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein
• the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode are applied with voltages of the same magnitude,
• the second subpixel electrode includes a plurality of branch electrodes,
• the first subpixel electrode has a planar shape, and
• an interval between two adjacent branch electrodes among the plurality of branch electrodes is equal to or greater than a width of a branch electrode of the plurality of branch electrodes.
