Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate disposed opposite the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including liquid crystal molecules;
• a gate line disposed on the first substrate and which transmits a gate signal;
• a common voltage line disposed on the first substrate and which transmits a common voltage;
• a first data line disposed on the first substrate and which transmits a data voltage;
• a first switching element connected to the gate line and the first data line;
• a second switching element connected to the gate line and the common voltage line;
• a first subpixel electrode connected to the first switching element;
• a second subpixel electrode connected to the second switching element;
• a storage electrode disposed on a same layer of the first substrate on which the gate lire is disposed;
• a first storage conductor extending from an output terminal of the first switching element;
• and
• a second storage conductor extending from an output terminal of the second switching element,
• wherein the first subpixel electrode overlaps a first portion of the first data line,
• the second subpixel electrode overlaps a second portion of the first data line,
• the first subpixel electrode includes first branches,
• the second subpixel electrode includes second branches,
• the first branches and the second branches are alternately arranged, and
• an overlapping area of the first subpixel electrode and the first data line is substantially equal to an overlapping area of the second subpixel electrode and the first data line,
• wherein the first storage conductor and the second storage conductor overlap the storage electrode and form a first storage capacitor and a second storage capacitor, respectively, and
• the first storage conductor and the sec storage conductor overlap the common voltage line and form a third storage capacitor and a fourth storage capacitor, respectively.
