Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: an insulating substrate; a gate line disposed on the insulating substrate; a data line insulated from the gate line and crossing the gate line; a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a passivation layer disposed on the thin film transistor; a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and partitioned into a plurality of domains by a plurality of first slits; a control electrode disposed on the passivation layer and at least partially overlapping each first slit; a plurality of domain forming members arranged parallel to the first slits in an alternating fashion and partitioning the pixel electrode into a plurality of domains; and a protrusion pattern interposed between the control electrode and the passivation layer, wherein the control electrode is positioned higher than the pixel electrode by the protrusion pattern.
