Abstract
Provided is a liquid crystal display capable of reducing a texture by increasing a liquid crystal control ability. The liquid crystal display includes a first electrode and a second electrode facing each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween. The first electrode includes a horizontal extension forming a boundary between adjacent subregions and a vertical extension connected to the horizontal extension, and the horizontal extension includes a portion which has a largest width at a position proximate to the vertical extension, and which has a smaller width at a position farther from the vertical extension.
Claims23
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a gate line extending in a first direction;
- a data line crossing the gate line and extending in a second direction;
- a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line;
- and
- a first electrode connected to the thin film transistor,
- wherein the first electrode includes a first portion and a second portion which are adjacent to each other with a gap between the first portion and the second portion;
- wherein the first portion includes:
- a first subregion including first branches;
- a second subregion including second branches;
- a first stem extending in a first direction and between the first subregion and the second subregion;
- and
- a second stem extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, connected to the first stem, and defining an edge of the first portion;
- wherein the second portion includes:
- a third subregion including third branches;
- a fourth subregion including fourth branches;
- a third stem extending in the first direction and between the third subregion and the fourth subregion;
- and
- a fourth stem extending in the second direction, connected to the third stem, and defining an edge of the second portion;
- and
- wherein the first electrode further includes a connector disposed between the first portion and the second portion, a first end of the connector is connected to an end of a portion of the second branches facing the gap, a second end of the connector is connected to an end of a portion of the third branches facing the gap, and the second branches and the third branches extend obliquely with respect to the first direction and the second direction.
