Abstract:
A liquid crystal display having a wide viewing angle, the liquid crystal display comprising:upper and lower substrates opposed to each other and spaced from each other by a predetermined distance; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and the lower substrates, the liquid crystal layer including a plurality of liquid crystal molecules; a pixel electrode formed at a portion of an inner surface of the lower substrate corresponding to a pixel area, the pixel electrode having an uneven surface including a first convex portion and a first concave portion; and a common electrode formed at a portion of an inner surface of the upper substrate corresponding to the pixel electrode, so as to form an electric field together with the pixel electrode, the common electrode having an uneven surface including second convex portions and second concave portions, wherein the first convex portions of the pixel electrode are disposed to correspond to the second concave portions of the common electrode, and the first concave portions of the pixel electrode are disposed to correspond to the second convex portions of the common electrode.
