Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first insulating substrate; first and second signal lines formed on the first insulating substrate; a third signal line formed on the first insulating substrate and crossing the first and the second signal lines; a first thin film transistor connected to the first and the third signal lines; a second thin film transistor connected to the second and the third signal lines; a first pixel electrode connected to the first thin film transistor; a second pixel electrode connected to the second thin film transistor; a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate; a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and the second insulating substrates and including a first liquid crystal region on the first pixel electrode and a second liquid crystal region on the second pixel electrode; and a domain partitioning member formed on at least one of the first and the second insulating substrates for partitioning the first and the second liquid crystal regions into a plurality of domains, respectively, wherein the domains of each of the first and the second liquid crystal regions includes a first directional domain and a second directional domain, the average directors of liquid crystal molecules in the first and the second directional domains are angled with respect to the first or the second signal line by a predetermined degree of about 0-90°, and the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are capacitively coupled.
