Claim:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a gate line disposed on the first substrate; a data line disposed on the first substrate; a first reference voltage line disposed on the first substrate and applying a first reference voltage; a second reference voltage line disposed on the first substrate and applying a second reference voltage; a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode disposed in one pixel area; a first switching element connected to the gate line, the data line, and the first subpixel electrode; a second switching element connected to the gate line, the data line, and the second subpixel electrode; a third switching element connected to the gate line, the first subpixel electrode, and one of the first reference voltage line and the second reference voltage line; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a common electrode formed on the second substrate and applied with the common voltage, wherein the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode each comprise a plate portion and a plurality of branch electrodes extending from the plate portion, the first reference voltage line comprises a transverse portion overlapping the plate portion of the first subpixel electrode, the second reference voltage line comprises a transverse portion overlapping the plate portion of the second subpixel electrode, the common electrode has a cross-shaped cutout, the transverse portion of the first reference voltage line extends in a same direction as a first transverse cutout of the cross-shaped cutout and overlaps the first transverse cutout, and the transverse portion of the second reference voltage line extends in a same direction as a second transverse cutout of the cross-shaped cutout and overlaps the second transverse cutout, and a voltage difference between the first subpixel electrode and a common voltage is larger than a voltage difference between the second subpixel electrode and the common voltage.
