Patent ID: 8564753

Claim:
A display substrate comprising: a base substrate comprising a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line and a thin-film transistor electrically connected to the gate line and the data line, the base substrate including a plurality of pixel areas defined thereon; and a unitary indivisible pixel electrode electrically in one pixel area, connected to the thin film transistor and comprising a plurality of branch electrodes, each of a first and second branch electrode comprising: a plurality of first pattern portions extended in an inclined direction with respect to the gate line when viewed in a plan view; a plurality of second pattern portions extended in an inclined direction with respect to the first pattern portions when viewed in the plan view; and a connection portion between a first end of a first pattern portion and a first end of a second pattern portion, and connecting the first and second pattern portions to each other to form a bent portion, wherein in the one pixel area, a shape of the first branch electrode is inverted with respect to a shape of the second branch electrode, and the pixel electrode is disconnected between adjacent connection portions within each of the first and second branch electrodes, and a connection electrode connecting second ends of the first and second patterns to each other, wherein the second ends are opposite to the first ends.
