Patent ID: 8048334

Claim:
A display panel comprising: a first substrate including a switching element connected to a gate line and a data line; and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the switching element, the pixel electrode including a first domain-dividing portion extending in a direction; the gate line and the data line crossing each other; a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate to have a cell gap of about 3.1 micrometers to about 3.3 micrometers, the second substrate including a common electrode including a second domain dividing portion formed in a region between the first domain-dividing portions adjacent to each other and not overlapping the first domain-dividing portions; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates, the liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal composition having a refractive anisotropy (An) of about 0.1010 to about 0.1030.
