Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate;
• a first alignment layer disposed on the first substrate and the pixel electrode;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a common electrode disposed on the second substrate;
• a second alignment layer disposed on the second substrate and the common electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein at least one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode comprises a first cutout including a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, and
• wherein the liquid crystal display further comprises a first storage electrode overlapping the horizontal portion of the first cutout.
