Patent ID: 8896791

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a pixel electrode on the first substrate; a second substrate which faces the first substrate; a common electrode on the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, and comprising liquid crystal molecules; and a cross-shaped organic layer protrusion on the first substrate or the second substrate, the cross-shaped organic layer protrusion overlapping the pixel electrode comprising: a first portion elongated in a first direction, and a second portion elongated in a second direction inclined with a first direction, wherein distal ends of the cross-shaped organic layer protrusion protrude further than an edge of the pixel electrode, in a plan view, the first and second directions are each substantially perpendicular to the edge of the pixel electrode from which the distal ends of the cross-shaped organic layer protrusion further protrude, and wherein the cross-shaped organic layer protrusion is on the first subtrate and is directly under the pixel electrode.
