Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• first and second substrates facing and spaced apart from each other, the first and second substrates having a pixel region;
• a gate line and a data line on an inner surface of the first substrate, the gate line and the data line crossing each other adjacent to the pixel region;
• a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line in the pixel region;
• a first electrode disposed above the thin film transistor;
• a second electrode being partially disposed over the first electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates,
• wherein the second electrode comprises:
• a plurality of first bars spaced apart from each other and extending along a first direction parallel to the gate line;
• a first connecting part connecting the plurality of first bars and extending along a second direction parallel to the data line;
• a plurality of second bars symmetric to the plurality of first bars with respect to a central line of the pixel region, the plurality of second bars spaced apart from each other and extending along the first direction;
• and
• a second connecting part connecting the plurality of second bars and extending along the second direction.
