Liquid crystal display to increase side view visibility

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a first switching element and a second switching element formed on the first substrate and configured to be switched by the same signal;
• a first subpixel electrode connected to the first switching element;
• a second subpixel electrode connected to the second switching element;
• a third switching element connected to the second switching element;
• a third subpixel electrode connected to the third switching element, the third subpixel electrode configured to receive a voltage only when the third switching element is turned on;
• a second substrate;
• a common electrode formed on the second substrate;
• a first gate line, a second gate line, and a data line formed on the first substrate, and
• a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein:
• an area ratio of the first subpixel electrode to the second subpixel electrode is 1:
• 1-2;
• an area ratio of the first subpixel electrode to the third subpixel electrode is 1:1-2;
• the first switching element and the second switching element are connected to the first gate line and the data line;
• and
• the third switching element is configured to be switched by a signal received from the second gate line.
