Patent ID: 7929099

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: first and second gate lines separated from each other and extending in a first direction; data lines insulated from the first and second gate lines and extending in a second direction, wherein the data lines and the gate lines intersect each other; first and second thin film transistors connected to the first and second gate lines and the data lines, respectively; a first sub-pixel electrode connected to the first thin film transistor; a second sub-pixel electrode connected to the second thin film transistor, the second sub-pixel electrode including a pair of upper and lower electrodes disposed above and below the first sub-pixel electrode and lateral electrode disposed at one side of the first sub-pixel electrode and the upper and lower electrodes, the lateral electrode comprising at least one first serrated pattern formed at an edge thereof and the upper and lower electrodes comprising at least one second serrated pattern formed at an edge thereof; and a connecting portion connecting the first serrated pattern and the second serrated pattern, at least a portion of the connecting portion forming an angle of substantially 45 degrees or −45 degrees with respect to the gate lines.
