Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first insulating substrate; a light blocking member positioned on the first insulating substrate, the light blocking member having a frame portion defining openings for pixels; a step compensating pattern positioned on the first insulating substrate and in one of the openings; a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate; a first electrode formed on the first insulating substrate in the same layer as a second domain dividing unit; a second electrode facing the first electrode and disposed in the same layer as a first domain dividing unit; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the step compensating pattern corresponds to a pattern of the first domain dividing unit or the second domain dividing unit and extends at a non-right angle with respect to the light blocking member in a layout view of the liquid crystal display, wherein the step compensating pattern and one of the first domain dividing unit and the second domain dividing unit are parallel, wherein each of the pixels is one of a red pixel, a green pixel, a blue pixel, and a white pixel, wherein the step compensating pattern is positioned in the white pixel, wherein the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel include a red filter, a green filter, and a blue filter, respectively, and wherein the white pixel further includes a color filter made of a transparent insulating material.
