Liquid crystal display with opposing protrusions in a pixel

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a substrate comprising a thin film transistor;
• a partition disposed on the substrate and defining a pixel;
• a plurality of protrusion members formed of the same material as the partition and disposed on the substrate, wherein the plurality of protrusion members are disposed inside the pixel defined by the partition, and the plurality of protrusion members are not connected to each other;
• and
• a color filter disposed inside the pixel defined by the partition,
• wherein the protrusion members are not disposed at positions corresponding to the corners of the pixel defined by the partition,
• wherein the color filter covers the plurality of protrusion members,
• wherein the plurality of protrusion members comprise a left protrusion, a right protrusion facing the left protrusion, an upper protrusion, and a lower protrusion facing the upper protrusion, and
• wherein the left protrusion and the right protrusion are disposed between the upper protrusion and the lower protrusion.

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a thin film transistor array panel, comprising:
• a lower substrate,
• a gate line extending in a first direction and disposed on the lower substrate,
• a data line disposed on the lower substrate and extending in a second direction to cross with the gate line,
