Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes an upper substrate, a lower substrate and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The lower substrate includes a pixel array divided into a plurality of columns of pixel areas and a plurality of rows of pixel areas. Each pixel area includes a upper sub-pixel electrode, a lower sub-pixel electrode insulated to the upper sub-pixel electrode and a TFT switch electrically connected to the lower sub-pixel electrode. The upper sub-pixel electrode is electrically connected to a lower sub-pixel electrode of a previous column, and the lower sub-pixel electrode is electrically connected to a upper sub-pixel electrode of a next column.
