Patent ID: 8027004

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a substrate; a gate line formed on the substrate; a data line formed on the substrate so as to intersect the gate lines; and a pixel electrode formed on the substrate, wherein a periphery of the pixel electrode comprises: a first main edge substantially parallel with the gate line, a second main edge substantially parallel with the data line, a first oblique edge making a first oblique angle with respect to the first and second main sides, and a second oblique edge making a second oblique angle with respect to the first and second main sides, and the first oblique angle and the second oblique angle are different from each other, wherein the first oblique edge and the second oblique edge are disposed adjacent to the gate line, and wherein the first main edge, the second oblique edge, the first oblique edge, and the second main edge are sequentially adjacent to one another and continuously extend to form a portion of the periphery of the pixel electrode, and the pixel electrode further comprises a first tilt direction determining member and the first tilt direction determining member has a side parallel with the first oblique edge.
