Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed opposite the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including liquid crystal molecules; a gate line disposed on the first substrate and which transmits a gate signal; a first data line disposed on the first substrate and which transmits a first data voltage; a second data line disposed on the first substrate and which transmits a second data voltage; a first switching element connected to the gate line and the first data line; a second switching element connected to the gate line and the second data line; a first subpixel electrode connected to the first switching element; and a second subpixel electrode connected to the second switching element, wherein a polarity of the first data voltage with respect to a reference voltage is opposite to a polarity of the second data voltage with respect to the reference voltage, the first subpixel electrode overlaps a first portion of the first data line and a first portion of the second data line, the second subpixel electrode overlaps a second portion of the first data line and a second portion of the second data line, the first subpixel electrode includes first branches, the second subpixel electrode includes second branches, and the first branches and the second branches are alternately arranged between the first data line and the second data line.
