Patent ID: 7656487

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a substrate; a pixel electrode disposed on the substrate and comprising a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode; and a common electrode facing the pixel electrode, wherein the first subpixel electrode comprises a first edge, a second edge disposed opposite the first edge, and two first outer oblique edges substantially parallel to each other, the first outer oblique edges making an oblique angle with the first edge and the second edge and meeting the first edge, the second subpixel electrode comprises a first edge, a second edge disposed opposite the first edge, and two first outer oblique edges both substantially parallel to or substantially perpendicular to the first outer oblique edges of the first subpixel electrode, the first outer oblique edges of the second subpixel electrode meeting the first edge of the second subpixel electrode, the first edge of the first subpixel electrode is adjacent to the first edge of the second subpixel electrode, a length of the first edge of the first subpixel electrode is different from a length of the first edge of the second subpixel electrode, and a first outer oblique edges of the first subpixel electrode and a first outer oblique edge of the second subpixel electrode are not aligned with each other in a direction perpendicular to the first edge of the first subpixel electrode or the second subpixel electrode.
