Patent ID: 8514270

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate and comprising a first sub pixel electrode and a second sub pixel electrode being paired with each other to form a pixel; an alignment layer disposed on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate and comprising a plurality of chains made from a light reactive material; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and comprising liquid crystal molecules to be aligned in a plurality of directions; and a conductive line disposed on the first substrate, wherein the first sub pixel electrode has a first edge portion and a second edge portion opposite the first edge portion, and the first edge portion comprises a first section and a second section, liquid crystal molecules of the first section to be aligned in a different direction from those of the second section, wherein the conductive line comprises a first segment and a second segment that extend along the first section and the second section of the first edge portion, respectively, and the first segment overlaps the first section of which liquid crystal molecules are oriented toward the first edge portion, wherein a tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules on the first sub pixel electrode and a tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules on the second sub pixel electrode are different from each other when an electric field is generated in the liquid crystal layer, wherein the first sub-pixel electrode is electrically connected to a first thin film transistor, and the second sub-pixel electrode is electrically connected to a second thin film transistor, wherein the first sub-pixel electrode has a size different from the second sub-pixel electrode, and wherein a distance from the first segment to the second edge portion is smaller than a distance from the second segment to the second edge portion.
