Abstract
In a liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a shielding electrode applied with the same voltage as a common voltage and overlapping a data line is not formed. Instead, an opening is formed at a position corresponding to a data line disposed proximate to a sub-pixel charged with a relatively low voltage. In this manner, luminance deterioration of a liquid crystal display may be reduced or prevented, and a short defect between the shielding electrode and the data line may also be prevented.
Claims10
A liquid crystal display having a plurality of pixels arranged at least approximately in a matrix, the liquid crystal display comprising:
- a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on a first substrate and each including a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode;
- a plurality of data lines connected to the pixel electrodes;
- a common electrode disposed on a second substrate facing the first substrate, the common electrode including a plurality of openings;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
- wherein the openings are each disposed at a position corresponding to at least a portion of one of the data lines, and are each disposed proximate to at least one of the second sub-pixel electrodes, the openings having edges extending beyond edges of their corresponding data lines by a distance of about 3 μm to about 6 μm, and
- the common electrode disposed in one pixel of three pixels that are adjacent in a pixel column direction does not have the opening.
