Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes an upper substrate, a lower substrate, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the upper and lower substrates and including liquid crystal molecules with optical isotropicity, a first polarizer disposed on a surface of the upper substrate, having a first polarization direction, a second polarizer disposed on a surface of the lower substrate, having a second polarization direction, and at least one pixel region defined on the lower substrate. The pixel region includes at least one pixel electrode disposed on the lower substrate, the pixel electrode extending along a first direction in the pixel region and a majority portion of an edge of the pixel electrode substantially being parallel to at least one of the first polarization direction and the second polarization direction.
