Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate having a pixel area; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; a gate line and a data line arranged on the first substrate and crossing each other; a pixel electrode arranged in the pixel area and provided with a first domain divider; and a common electrode arranged on the second substrate and provided with a second domain divider, the first and second domain dividers dividing the pixel area into a plurality of domains, wherein the second domain divider extends in a first direction and a second direction symmetric with the first direction with respect to a longitudinal direction of the gate line in order to have a curved portion of the second domain divider, the common electrode has a concavo-convex portion in a saw-toothed shape in a plan view of the common electrode, and the concavo-convex portion is positioned in a region where the curved portion is formed.
