Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of pixels including a plurality of displaying subpixels corresponding to various colors and a viewing angle controlling subpixel for controlling a viewing angle; a common electrode and a retention capacitor respectively provided to each of the plurality of pixels; a common electrode line electrically connected to the common electrode; and a retention capacitor line electrically connected to the retention capacitor, the common electrode including a first common electrode commonly formed at the plurality of displaying subpixels and a second common electrode formed at the viewing angle controlling subpixel, wherein the common electrode line includes a first common electrode line connected to the first common electrode and a second common electrode line connected to the second common electrode, wherein the first common electrode line and the second common electrode line are not connected to each other in a region where each of the plurality of pixels is provided, wherein the retention capacitor includes a first retention capacitor disposed at the plurality of displaying subpixels and a second retention capacitor disposed at the viewing angle controlling subpixel, and wherein the retention capacitor line includes a first retention capacitor line connected to the first retention capacitor and a second retention capacitor line connected to the second retention capacitor, wherein the plurality of first retention capacitors formed at the plurality of displaying subpixels is connected to the first retention capacitor line, and wherein the second retention capacitor formed at the viewing angle controlling subpixel is connected to the second retention capacitor line, wherein the first and the second retention capacitor lines are not connected to each other in the region where each of the plurality of pixels is provided, wherein the first common electrode line is connected to the first retention capacitor, and wherein electric potentials applied to the first common electrode line and the second common electrode line are different from each other.
