Patent ID: 7723727

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) divided into a display region and a peripheral region, comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of first wires formed on the first substrate and extending in a first direction; a plurality of second wires formed on the first substrate and intersecting the first wires in the display region, each second wire having a plurality of bending points in the display region; a plurality of pixel regions defined by the intersecting of the first wires and the second wires; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed in the pixel regions, respectively, each having a side shaped conformal to the second wire adjacent thereto, wherein each pixel electrode has a wide portion and a narrow portion; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a black matrix formed on the second substrate; a common electrode formed on the second substrate; and a domain formation element for dividing each pixel into a plurality of domains, wherein the domain formation element comprises: a first aperture pattern formed on the pixel electrode; and a second aperture pattern formed on the common electrode, the second aperture pattern comprising third apertures overlapping edges of the narrow portion of the pixel electrode that are adjacent to the second wires.
