Patent ID: 8330920

Claim:
A liquid crystal display of a fringe field switching type, which divides a pixel area into two domains having different movements of liquid crystal, comprising: a gate line formed on a substrate; a data line crossing the gate line with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween to define the pixel area; a TFT connected to the gate line and the data line; a pixel electrode connected to the TFT to receive a data signal; a common line for supplying a common voltage; and a common electrode electrically connected to the common line and formed in a plate shape to cover the pixel area, wherein the domains are vertically symmetrical with respect to a domain border area, and the pixel electrode includes a plurality of finger portions spaced apart from one another by a predetermined gap to form a fringe field together with the common electrode and a border link pattern connecting the finger portions at the domain border area, wherein the finger portions in the first and second domain areas form a first electrode angle with respect to a normal line perpendicular to the domain borderline crossing the domain border area, and the finger portions in the domain border area form a second electrode angle with respect to the normal line, wherein the second electrode angle is an acute angle, the first electrode angle and the second electrode angle exist as being adjacent to one another in one area of four areas, and the second electrode angle is larger than the first electrode angle, and wherein an angle between the border link pattern and the finger portions forming the first electrode angle forms an obtuse angle and an angle between the border link pattern and the finger portions forming the second electrode angle forms an obtuse angle.
