Patent ID: 8610864

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pixel electrode comprising a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode with a gap therebetween; a common electrode facing the pixel electrode; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and comprising a plurality of liquid crystal molecules, wherein the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode include a plurality of minute branches, the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode comprise a plurality of subregions having different length directions of the minute branches, a width of each of the minute branches is wider than an interval between neighboring minute branches, and a sum of the width d 1 of each of the minute branches and the interval d 2 between the neighboring minute branches is in a range from about 5 μm to 7 μm, when the sum of the width d 1 of each of the minute branches and the interval d 2 between the neighboring minute branches is in a range from 6 μm to 6.5 μm, a ratio d 1 /d 2 of the width d 1 to the interval d 2 is in a range from 1.2 to 1.35, when the sum of the width d 1 of each of the minute branches and the interval d 2 between the neighboring minute branches is in a range from 6.5 μm to 7 μm, the ratio d 1 /d 2 is in a range from 1.35 to 1.5, and when the sum of the width d 1 of each of the minute branches and the interval d 2 between the neighboring minute branches is in a range from 5 μm to 6 μm, the ratio d 1 /d 2 is in a range from 1.05 to 1.2.
