Abstract:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising:an upper substrate and a lower substrate opposite thereto, liquid crystal molecules interposed therebetween; a gate bus line arranged in a first direction on the lower substrate; a data bus line arranged in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction on the lower substrate, the data bus line defining a space for an unit pixel of the LCD together with the gate bus line; a counter electrode having a rectangular frame formed in the unit pixel space of the LCD, the counter electrode having a first pair of opposing sides extending in the second direction and a second pair of opposing sides extending in the first direction, the counter electrode further having at least one bar for dividing an inside of the rectangular frame; and a pixel electrode formed in the unit pixel space where the counter electrode is formed, the pixel electrode having a first part and second part each overlapping the first pair of opposing sides of the rectangular frame of the counter electrode and a third part for connecting the first part and the second part, the third part comprising at least two bars parallel to the at least one bar of the counter electrode, the pixel electrode bars located at between the at least one bar of the counter electrode and the first pair of opposite sides of the rectangular frame of the counter electrode; wherein a distance between the first pair of opposing sides of counter electrode comprising the rectangular frame and the third part of the pixel electrode is different from that between the at least one bar of the counter electrode and the third part of the pixel electrode.
