Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:a first substrate; a second substrate, spaced apart from the first substrate; first and second adjacent pixel regions on one of the first substrate or the second substrate; and first and second field-generating electrodes on the first and second adjacent pixel regions, respectively, the first field-generating electrode having a first aperture and a second aperture and the second field-generating electrode having a third aperture and a fourth aperture, an orientation of at least one of the first and second apertures of the first field-generating electrode being different from an orientation of at least one of the third and fourth apertures of the second field-generating electrode; wherein the one of the first and second substrates comprising the first and second pixel regions comprises a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines that define the first and second pixel regions, wherein orientations of the first and second apertures in the first field-generating electrode are parallel to the plurality of gate lines and wherein orientations of the third and fourth apertures of the second field-generating electrode are perpendicular to the plurality of gate lines.
