Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a substrate; a pixel electrode disposed on the substrate, the pixel electrode including a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode; and a common electrode facing the pixel electrode, the common electrode having a cutout, wherein the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode are independently capacitively coupled to the common electrode, the first subpixel electrode includes a first electrode including at least two substantially parallelogram shaped electrode pieces that have different inclination directions and are connected to each other in a longitudinal direction, and the second subpixel electrode includes a second electrode disposed at a longitudinal side of the first electrode, the second electrode including at least two substantially parallelogram shaped electrode pieces that have different inclination directions and are connected to each other in the longitudinal direction, and each of the electrode pieces has a pair of oblique edges substantially parallel to each other, and the cutout passes through the first and the second subpixel electrodes and includes an oblique portion extending substantially parallel to the oblique edges of the electrode pieces.
