Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first electrically insulative substrate; a gate line and a data line disposed on the first insulative substrate, the gate line intersecting the data line; a switching element disposed on the first insulative substrate and operatively coupled to the gate line and the data line; a first sub-pixel electrode disposed on the first insulative substrate and coupled by a direct current path to the switching element; a second sub-pixel electrode disposed on the first insulative substrate and capacitively coupled to the first sub-pixel electrode; a second electrically insulative substrate disposed spaced apart from, above and facing the first insulative substrate; and a common electrode formed on the second insulative substrate to face the first and second sub-pixel electrodes and define electrical fields extending between the common electrode and the first and second sub-pixel electrodes; wherein the second sub-pixel electrode has an upwardly directed protrusion in a portion thereof; wherein the common electrode includes a first cut-out disposed above the first sub-pixel electrode and the common electrode includes a second cut-out disposed directly above and facing the upwardly directed protrusion.
