Liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal display device including the same

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes: a first substrate including a plurality of pixel areas; a first sub-pixel electrode disposed in a first pixel area on the first substrate; a second sub-pixel electrode disposed in the first pixel area on the first substrate and spaced apart from the first sub-pixel electrode, and a polarity of a voltage applied to the second sub-pixel electrode with reference to a common voltage is different from a polarity of a voltage applied to the first sub-pixel electrode with reference to the common voltage; a second substrate facing the first substrate and spaced apart from the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer which interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a liquid crystal composition having dielectric anisotropy of about −2.5 to about −1.5.
