Patent ID: 8427618

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a substrate; a first signal line formed on the substrate; a second signal line intersecting the first signal line; a first pixel electrode having a bar shape; a second pixel electrode having a bar shape, and forming an acute angle with respect to the first pixel electrode; a center pixel electrode formed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode and comprising a triangle portion and at least one extended portion stretched out from the triangle portion and parallel to one of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; a pixel signal line connecting the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the center pixel electrode; a switching element connected to the first signal line, the second signal line, and the pixel signal line; and a common electrode formed on the substrate and forming an electric field along with the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the center pixel electrode, wherein the common electrode comprises a first common electrode parallel to the first pixel electrode, and a second common electrode parallel to the second pixel electrode, at least one of the first common electrode and the second common electrode forming an outer edge of the common electrode.
