Claim:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a common electrode disposed on the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules, wherein the common electrode includes a cross-shaped cutout, the cross-shaped cutout overlapping the pixel electrode and dividing the pixel electrode into a plurality of subregions, wherein the pixel electrode includes a direction controller extending in a direction parallel to a line connecting an intersecting point of the cross-shaped cutout and a pixel corner edge opposing the intersecting point, wherein each of the plurality of subregions is divided into nine small regions by dividing a width of each of the subregions into three equal parts and dividing a length of each of the subregions into three equal parts, and wherein the direction controller is disposed exclusively in a center small region of the nine small regions.
