Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:a first substrate comprising a first electrode; a second substrate comprising thereon a second electrode having a plurality of sub-electrodes and at least one elongate hole having a longitudinal direction and facing to said first electrode; a third electrode positioned under said at least one hole and between said second electrode and said second substrate, and having at least one notch disposed on an edge thereof and a longitudinal direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction of said elongate hole; and a liquid crystal layer comprising a plurality of liquid crystal molecules and interposed between said first substrate and said second substrate; wherein said liquid crystal molecules above and in a vicinity to said hole are aligned to said longitudinal direction of said hole, and said liquid crystal molecules above and in a vicinity to said notch are pointed to a valley of said notch in presence of a sufficient electric field across said first substrate and said second substrate.
