Patent ID: 8208106

Claim:
A substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of gate bus lines extending in a first direction; a plurality of data bus lines that cross said gate bus lines; a thin film transistor connected to one of said data bus lines; a first electrode including a body portion and a plurality of branches extending from the body portion, wherein at least some of said branches include a first branch portion, which extends from said body portion and defines a first angle with respect to the first direction, and a second branch portion, which extends from said first branch portion, and which defines a second angle with respect to the first direction, and further wherein said first angle is greater than said second angle and both said first angle and said second angle are between 0° and 90°; a second electrode that is electrically connected to the said thin film transistor and that overlaps at least a portion of said first electrode; and an insulation film between said first electrode and said second electrode.
