Array substrate and liquid crystal display including the same

A display apparatus, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate, the second substrate comprising a common electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein the first substrate comprises:
• a first gate line and a second gate line, the first and second gate lines extending substantially along a first direction;
• a data line extending substantially along a second direction crossing the first direction, the data line being insulated from the first and second gate lines;
• a pixel electrode disposed in a pixel area defined in association with the data line, the first gate line, and the second gate line;
• a first auxiliary electrode overlapping the first gate line;
• and
• a second auxiliary electrode disposed between the pixel electrode and the second gate line, the second auxiliary electrode being spaced apart from the second gate line, and
• wherein the pixel electrode comprises:
• a first subpixel electrode disposed adjacent to the first gate line, a size of the first subpixel electrode in the first direction being greater than a size of the first subpixel electrode in the second direction;
• and
• a second subpixel electrode spaced apart from the first subpixel electrode in the second direction, a size of the second subpixel electrode in the first direction being greater than a size of the second subpixel electrode in the second direction.
