Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate which face each other;
• a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates and including liquid crystal molecules;
• a gate line which is on the first substrate and transmits a gate signal;
• a plurality of data lines which is on the first substrate and transmits a first voltage;
• a voltage transmitting line which is on the first substrate and transmits a second voltage maintained at a predetermined level for a frame;
• and
• a plurality of pixels on the first substrate, each pixel including a first pixel electrode, and a second pixel electrode different from the first pixel electrode and separated from the first pixel electrode,
• wherein
• the plurality of pixels includes a first pixel, and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, with respect to a first data line between the first and second pixels,
• one of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode receives the first voltage through one data line, and the other of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode receives the second voltage through the voltage transmitting line,
• the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode each include stems at pixel peripheral edges adjacent to the voltage transmitting line and the first data line, and a plurality of branch electrodes which extend from the stems, respectively, wherein branch electrodes of the first pixel electrode and branch electrodes of the second pixel electrode alternate,
• a stem of the first pixel electrode of the first pixel, faces a stem of the first pixel electrode of the second pixel and a stem of the second pixel electrode of the second pixel, with respect to the first data line between the first and second pixels, and
• an area of the stem of the first pixel electrode of the second pixel which faces the stem of the first pixel electrode of the first pixel, and an area of the stem of the second pixel electrode of the second pixel which faces the stem of the first pixel electrode of the first pixel, are substantially the same.
