Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first panel having inner and outer surfaces; a second panel facing the first panel and having inner and outer surfaces; a pixel electrode provided on the inner surface of the first panel; a common electrode provided on the inner surface of the second panel; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and the second panels, wherein the liquid crystal layer is vertically aligned in the absence of an electric field, and wherein a voltage value of a first gray representing the darkest state applied between the pixel electrode and the common electrode is within a voltage range for yielding a quotient greater than or equal to about 0.8 and less than about 1 for all viewing angles when a contrast ratio at the voltage value is divided by a contrast ratio when the voltage applied between the pixel electrode and the common electrode is zero.
