Patent ID: 8111341

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate and comprising a first sub pixel electrode and a second sub pixel electrode; a common electrode disposed on the second substrate; an alignment layer disposed on at least one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode and comprising a plurality of chains made from a light reactive material; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and comprising liquid crystal molecules aligned in a plurality of directions; and a plurality of conductive lines disposed on the first substrate, wherein the first sub pixel electrode has a first edge portion and a second edge portion opposite the first edge portion, the first edge portion and the second edge portion both comprise a first part and a second part, and a width of the first part overlapping one of the plurality of conductive lines is wider than a width of the second part overlapping one of the plurality of conductive lines, and wherein the first part and the second part are connected to each other, but are not collinear, and the width of the first part extends in the same direction as the width of the second part.
