Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes first and second substrates. The first substrate has a first insulating substrate, and a pixel electrode formed on the first insulating substrate with a first opening pattern. The second substrate has a second insulating substrate, and a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate with a second opening pattern. The first and the second opening patterns proceed parallel to each other while being arranged in an alternate manner. A liquid crystal material is injected between the first and the second substrates. A spacer is positioned at an end of the second opening pattern to maintain the distance between the first and the second substrates.

Claims (7)

1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate;

a liquid crystal layer being sandwiched between the first and second substrates;

a gate line and a data line provided on the first substrate;

a plurality of pixel electrodes provided on the first substrate;

a plurality of protrusions disposed on the second substrate, the protrusions comprising bodies that are arranged obliquely with respect to the gate line and branches extending from the bodies in a first direction along edges of the pixel electrodes; and

a spacer arranged on the gate line and extending in a second direction from where one of the bodies meets one of the edges of the pixel electrodes, the second direction being opposite the first direction.
