Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes: a plurality of pixel electrodes each having a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode that face each other in a diagonal direction; a plurality of gate lines; and a plurality of data lines that intersect the plurality of gate lines and at least partially overlap the pixel electrodes.

Claims (22)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a substrate;

a gate line disposed on the substrate;

a data line intersecting with the gate line;

a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line;

a first pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor;

a second pixel electrode disposed adjacent to the first pixel electrode;

a storage electrode line disposed to be substantially parallel with the gate line; and

a first light blocking member connected to the storage electrode,

wherein the data line is arranged between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode,

wherein the data line comprises a first region overlapping the first pixel electrode, a second region overlapping the second pixel electrode, and a third region connecting between the first region and the second region, and

wherein the first light blocking member does not overlap the first region and the second region.

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein pixel electrodes disposed in a same column are alternatively connected to adjacent data lines configured to supply data voltages having opposite polarities with respect to a common voltage.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second light blocking member disposed between the second pixel electrode and the first region of the data line,

wherein the first light blocking member is disposed between the first pixel electrode and the second region of the data line.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the first light blocking member and the second light blocking member are disconnected in a portion overlapping the third region of the data line.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 4 , wherein the storage electrode line is disconnected with the second light blocking member.

6. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the second light blocking member does not overlap the first region and the second region.

7. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the first light blocking member overlaps the third region.

8. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the second light blocking member overlaps the third region.

9. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the third region is substantially parallel with the gate line.
