A liquid crystal photoalignment agent includes: a copolymer of diamine and dianhydride; and a compound Formula 1 below, wherein an amount of the compound of Formula 1 is less than about 10 weight %, based on a total weight of the liquid crystal photoalignment agent: Ris a substituted or unsubstituted tetravalent organic group derived from an acid dianhydride, wherein the acid dianhydride is at least one of an aliphatic cyclic acid dianhydride or an aromatic acid dianhydride, Ris a substituted or unsubstituted trivalent organic group derived from an aromatic diamine, at least one of Rand Ris substituted with CFor a silyl group, Ris a residue of a compound including a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group with a carbon number that is equal to or greater than 6, n is 1 to 5, and * represents a point of attachment.

Liquid crystal photoalignment agent and liquid crystal display including the same

A liquid crystal display includes: a liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal layer, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode; and a backlight unit including a light source to provide light to the liquid crystal panel. The pixel electrode includes a longitudinal electrode having a bar shape and extending in a vertical direction; a transverse electrode having a bar shape, crossing the longitudinal electrode, and extending in a horizontal direction; and a branch electrode having a bar shape, extending from the longitudinal or transverse electrode, and including an oblique part extending in an oblique direction. The common electrode overlaps the longitudinal electrode, and a longitudinal opening extending in the vertical direction is defined in the common electrode, and a width of a part of the pixel electrode where the longitudinal and the transverse electrodes cross each other is substantially the same as a width of the transverse electrode.

Liquid crystal display

A video wall-type display device may include: a plurality of display modules, each including: a display area including: a first sub-area; and at least one second sub-area disposed to adjoin and to surround the first sub-area; and a non-display area disposed to surround the display area, wherein the first sub-area may include at least one first pixel unit. The at least one first pixel unit includes: a first pixel configured to display a first color; a second pixel configured to display a second color; and a third pixel configured to display a third colors, the first, second, and third colors being different from each another. The second sub-area may include at least one second pixel unit, the at least one second pixel unit including: the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel; and at least one fourth pixel configured to display a white color.
