Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes a first field generating electrode and an opposed electrode facing each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, a shielding electrode line separated from the first field generating electrode, and a second field generating electrode including a plurality of branch electrodes overlapping the first field generating electrode, where the first field generating electrode includes at least one step portion adjacent to and facing the shielding electrode line.
Claims18
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first field generating electrode;
- an opposed electrode facing the first field generating electrode;
- a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first field generating electrode and the opposed electrode;
- a shielding electrode line separated from the first field generating electrode;
- and
- a second field generating electrode including a plurality of branch electrodes overlapping the first field generating electrode,
- wherein the first field generating electrode includes a main edge and an inner edge opposing and substantially parallel to each other as opposing major sides defining the first field generating electrode and each crossing a plurality of the branch electrodes in a plan view, a first sub-edge meeting the main edge at a first vertex, and a second sub-edge meeting the first sub-edge at a second vertex,
- the first sub-edge and the second sub-edge form a step portion of the first field generating electrode adjacent to and facing the shielding electrode line, and
- a first distance between the main edge and the inner edge is greater than a second distance between the second sub-edge and the inner edge.
