Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a plurality of first signal lines formed on the first substrate; a plurality of second signal lines formed on the first substrate; a first subpixel electrode formed on the first substrate and having a bent edge; a second subpixel electrode formed on the first substrate, having a bent edge, and being disposed adjacent the first subpixel electrode in a first direction; a third subpixel electrode formed on the first substrate, having a bent edge, and being disposed adjacent the second subpixel electrode in a second direction different from the first direction; a fourth subpixel electrode formed on the first substrate, having a bent edge, and being disposed adjacent the third subpixel electrode in the first direction and adjacent the first subpixel electrode in the second direction; a common electrode formed on the second substrate and facing the first to the fourth subpixel electrodes on the first substrate; and a plurality of switching elements, each of the switching elements being coupled to one of the first signal lines, to one of the second signal lines, and to one of the first to the fourth subpixel electrodes, wherein the bent edge of the second subpixel electrode is longer than the bent edge of the first subpixel electrode, the bent edge of the fourth subpixel electrode is longer than the bent edge of the third subpixel electrode, the fourth subpixel electrode has an edge contacting an edge of the second subpixel electrode, and the first subpixel electrode, the second subpixel electrode, the third subpixel electrode, and the fourth subpixel electrode are separated from each other.
