Patent ID: 7443458

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a first insulating substrate; a gate line formed on the first insulating substrate; a data line insulated from the gate line and extending substantially perpendicularly to the gate line, the gate line and the data line defining a pixel; a thin film transistor (TFT) connected to the gate line and the data line; a first sub-pixel electrode connected to the TFT; a second sub-pixel electrode capacitively coupled to the first sub-pixel electrode through a coupling electrode, the second sub-pixel electrode being separated from the first sub-pixel electrode by a gap; a second insulating substrate; a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate and including a domain divider; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate, wherein a coupling electrode connecting portion connecting the TFT to the coupling electrode intersects the gap at a region along an edge of the pixel.
