Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and an opposing second substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a light blocking member disposed on the first substrate or the second substrate; a gate line disposed on the first substrate and extending in a first direction; a first field generating electrode disposed on the first substrate; and a second field generating electrode overlapping the first field generating electrode and comprising branch electrodes overlapping the first field generating electrode, wherein, a branch electrode of the branch electrodes comprises a central portion and a first edge portion disposed at an end of the central portion, the first edge portion extends lengthwise at a first angle with respect to a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, the central portion extends lengthwise at a second angle with respect to the second direction, the first angle is greater than the second angle, and the first edge portion overlaps the light blocking member.
