A liquid crystal display (LCD) including: a first electrode disposed on a first substrate; an insulating layer disposed on the first electrode; a second electrode disposed on the insulating layer, overlapping the first electrode, and including a plurality of branch electrodes; and a second substrate opposing the second substrate. Liquid crystal molecules of a liquid crystal layer disposed between the substrates are aligned to have pretilt angles in an alignment direction. The branch electrodes include a main branch portion forming a first angle with the alignment direction and a first center portion forming a second angle with the alignment direction, respectively. The branch electrodes include an outermost branch electrode, and the outermost branch electrode includes the main branch portion forming a first angle with the alignment direction and a second center portion forming a fourth angle with the alignment direction.

Field
Exemplary embodiments relate to a liquid crystal display.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the inventive concept, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments of the inventive concept, and, together with the description, serve to explain principles of the inventive concept.
FIG. 1 is a layout view of a liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the liquid crystal display according to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 taken along line II-II′.
In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various exemplary embodiments. It is apparent, however, that various exemplary embodiments may be practiced without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring various exemplary embodiments.
In the accompanying figures, the size and relative sizes of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., may be exaggerated for clarity and descriptive purposes. Also, like reference numerals denote like elements.
When an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. When, however, an element or layer is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be construed as X only, Y only, Z only, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as, for instance, XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
