Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a gate line, a data line, and a pixel electrode including first and second sub-pixel electrodes to which different voltages are applied. A thin film transistor is coupled with the gate line and the data line to apply a voltage to the pixel electrode, and a storage electrode partially overlaps with the first and second sub-pixel electrodes. The first sub-pixel electrode is arranged on all but one side of the second sub-pixel electrode, portions of a first side of the storage electrode overlap with the boundaries of the first and second sub-pixel electrodes, portions of a second side of the storage electrode protrude and partially overlap with the second sub-pixel electrode, and the storage electrode comprises a storage electrode extension, which protrudes from the second side of the storage electrode across the first sub-pixel electrode and overlaps with the second sub-pixel electrode.
