Abstract
Disclosed is a liquid crystal display comprising a first substrate made of an insulating material; pixel electrodes formed on the first substrate, the pixel electrodes having a first aperture pattern; a second substrate made of an insulating material and provided opposing the first substrate at a predetermined distance; a common electrode formed on the second substrate, the common electrode having a second aperture pattern; and a liquid crystal layer made of liquid crystal material that is injected between the first and second substrates, wherein either or both of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode include stepped portions that protrude a predetermined distance away from the substrates, between apertures of the first and/or second aperture patterns.

A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a pixel electrode formed on said first substrate, said pixel electrode having a first aperture pattern;
- a second substrate facing said first substrate;
- a common electrode;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer injected between said first substrate and said second substrate,
- wherein at least one of the pixel electrode and said common electrode has a stepped portion.
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a first substrate made of insulating material;
- a pixel electrode formed on said first substrate;
- a second substrate made of insulating material and facing said first substrate at a predetermined distance;
- a common electrode formed on said second substrate;
- an insulating layer formed on at least one of said first substrate and said second substrate;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer injected between said first substrate and said second substrate,
- wherein said insulating layer forms a plateau that protrudes a predetermined distance away from the substrates, and
- wherein the plateau changes electric fields generated between said pixel electrode and said common electrode.
The liquid crystal display of 9, claim wherein the stepped portion is formed by locating the common electrode over the plateau.
