Patent ID: 7956943

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a gate line formed on the first substrate; a first capacitor electrode formed on the first substrate and separated from the gate line; a data line intersecting the gate line; a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a second capacitor electrode disposed on the first capacitor electrode; a plurality of first electrodes connected to the second capacitor electrode and the thin film transistor and disposed substantially symmetrical to the data line; a pixel electrode including at least one first subpixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and a second subpixel electrode connected to the first capacitor electrode; a shielding electrode separated from the pixel electrode and disposed on the same layer as the pixel electrode; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a common electrode formed on the second substrate, wherein the shielding electrode covers a portion of a gap between the pixel electrode and the data line.
