Patent ID: 7609351

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 formed in a pixel area defined by intersections of the first signal line and the second signal line and having a bar shape; a second pixel electrode formed in the pixel area, 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 having a triangle portion, a first extended portion stretched out from the triangle portion and parallel to the first pixel electrode, and a second extended portion stretched out from the triangle portion and parallel to the second pixel electrode; a first pixel signal line connecting the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the center pixel electrode; a second 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 first 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.
