Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a first pixel electrode formed on the first substrate, the first pixel electrode including a stem part and a plurality of branch parts branching off from the stem part, the stem part including a vertical section and a horizontal section crossing the vertical section; a second pixel electrode overlapping with at least a part of the first pixel electrode and including at least one elongated opening, wherein an edge of the at least one elongated opening crosses a portion of the plurality of branch parts at a position along the branch parts closer to a middle of the branch parts between the stem part and an outer edge of the first pixel than to the stem part or to the outer edge of the first pixel; a passivation layer interposed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; a second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer including vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules between the first and second substrates, wherein a first effective voltage V
