Patent ID: 7852419

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pixel electrode having a plurality of partitions and a connecting member connecting the plurality of partitions; a common electrode disposed opposite the pixel electrode, the common electrode generating an electric field in cooperation with the pixel electrode and having a plurality of apertures; and a storage electrode wire adjacent to the pixel electrode and comprising a first storage electrode, a second storage electrode, and a third storage electrode, wherein the storage electrode wire is applied with a voltage different from a voltage applied to the pixel electrode, wherein the plurality of partitions and the plurality of apertures define domains for generating the electric field, and at least one of the domains has at least one oblique side obliquely extending with respect to a gate line or a data line, wherein the first storage electrode extends parallel to the data line, wherein the connecting member connecting the plurality of partitions of the pixel electrode overlaps the first storage electrode, wherein the second storage electrode and the third storage electrode obliquely extend toward upper and lower directions from the first storage electrode, respectively.
