A liquid-crystal display including: a gate line extending in a first direction; a gate electrode protruding from the gate line; a gate insulating layer arranged on the gate electrode; an active layer arranged on the gate insulating layer while being insulated from the gate electrode; a data line arranged on the active layer and extending in a second direction; a source electrode protruding from the data line, having a portion overlapping the gate electrode on a plane, and including a plurality of source electrode branches that are separate from each other; a drain electrode being separate from the source electrode, and including a plurality of drain electrode branches, each being arranged between two of the plurality of source electrode branches, and a drain electrode connecting part connecting the plurality of drain electrode branches; a pixel electrode defining a pixel region; a liquid-crystal layer arranged on the pixel electrode.

A gate driving circuit includes N stages (where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2). The N stages are cascaded, and each of the N stages has a gate line connected thereto. A first stage group includes k stages of the N stages (where k is a natural number less than N), and the first stage group outputs a first output signal in response to a start signal. A second stage group (including N&#x2212;k stages) generates a second output signal in response to the first output signal and outputs the second output signal to a corresponding gate line. The first stage group includes a first buffer and a second buffer, each of which receives the start signal. A size of the first buffer is smaller than a size of the second buffer.
