Patent ID: 8345196

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a thin film transistor disposed on the first substrate; a passivation layer disposed on the thin film transistor; a first electrode, disposed on the passivation layer and electrically connected to the thin film transistor thorough a first contact hole disposed on the passivation layer, comprising: a plurality of sub-electrodes which are separated from each other by a predetermined distance and arranged parallel to each other, and a connecting electrode electrically connecting the sub-electrodes; and a first alignment film directly contacting the first electrode; a second substrate; a second electrode disposed on the second substrate; a second alignment film disposed on the second electrode; a liquid crystal layer comprising liquid crystal molecules interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and wherein the first alignment film has been rubbed in a first direction and the second alignment film has been rubbed in a second direction.
