Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a thin film transistor panel comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of data lines formed over the first substrate and extending in a first direction; a plurality of gate lines formed over the first substrate and extending in a second direction, the plurality of gate lines crossing the plurality of data lines to form a plurality of pixel areas, each of the plurality of pixel areas having a multi-bent band shape; and a plurality of pixel electrodes each formed in a corresponding pixel area, and each of the plurality of data lines comprise a first set of oblique portions and a second set of oblique portions, the first set of oblique portions being angled counterclockwise by about 45° from the plurality of gate lines and the second set of oblique portions being angled clockwise by about 45° from the plurality of gate lines; a common electrode panel, comprising: a second substrate; and a common electrode formed over the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the thin film transistor panel and the common electrode panel and comprising liquid crystal molecules aligned vertical to surface of the first substrate when no voltage is applied, the liquid crystal layer having negative dielectric anisotropy.
