Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a lower panel electrode including at least one lower panel unit electrode;
• an upper panel electrode including at least one upper panel unit electrode facing the at least one lower panel unit electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower panel electrode and the upper panel electrode and including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules aligned approximately perpendicular to surfaces of the lower panel electrode and the upper panel electrode,
• wherein the at least one lower panel unit electrode includes a center electrode disposed at a center thereof, a plurality of minute branches which extends from an edge side of the center electrode to an outside,
• a first cutout is defined in a center of the center electrode,
• a second cutout is defined in the at least one upper panel unit electrode between the plurality of minute branches and the first cutout, and
• a third cutout is connected to the second cutout and defines a boundary between a plurality of subregions together with the first cutout.
