Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a gate line and a data line provided on the first substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes provided on the first substrate; a plurality of openings provided in the plurality of pixel electrodes; a plurality of protrusions disposed on the second substrate and comprising bodies arranged obliquely at edges of the plurality of pixel electrodes and branches extended from the bodies along the edges of the plurality of pixel electrodes; a trunk protrusion disposed on the second substrate extended from one of the bodies in a different direction from the bodies and the branches; and a first spacer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; wherein a first opening of the plurality of openings and one of the plurality of protrusions are arranged alternately, a second opening of the plurality of openings and the trunk protrusion are arranged collinearly and the second opening is overlapped with one of the bodies, and wherein the first spacer is positioned at an adjacent location where one of the plurality of protrusions and one of the edges of the plurality of pixel electrodes meet.
