Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes first and second insulating substrates facing each other, and a plurality of pixels comprising a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns and divided into a first pixel group comprising only the pixels on a first row and a second pixel group comprising each of the remaining pixels on second to last rows. The pixels of the first pixel group have a first opening ratio, and the pixels of the second pixel group have a second opening ratio different from the first opening ratio. The first opening ratio is smaller than the second opening ratio, and the first opening ratio is about 60% to about 80% of the second opening ratio; and the pixels of the first pixel group but not the pixels of the second pixel group have a light interception pattern in an opening portion.

Claims (17)

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

a plurality of pixels comprising a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns and divided into a first pixel group comprising only the pixels on a first row and a second pixel group comprising each of the remaining pixels on second to last rows,

wherein the pixels of the first pixel group have a first opening ratio, and the pixels of the second pixel group have a second opening ratio different from the first opening ratio;

wherein the first opening ratio is smaller than the second opening ratio;

wherein the first opening ratio is about 60% to about 80% of the second opening ratio; and

wherein the pixels of the first pixel group but not the pixels of the second pixel group have a light interception pattern in an opening portion.

2. The LCD of claim 1 , further comprising a gate line and a data line, wherein the light interception pattern and at least one of the gate line and the data line is placed on the same plane.

3. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

a plurality of pixels comprising a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns and divided into a first pixel group comprising only the pixels on a first row and a second pixel group comprising each of the remaining pixels on second to last rows,

wherein the pixels of the first pixel group have a first opening ratio, and the pixels of the second pixel group have a second opening ratio different from the first opening ratio;

wherein the first opening ratio is smaller than the second opening ratio; and

wherein the pixels of the first pixel group but not the pixels of the second pixel group have a light interception pattern in an opening portion.

4. The LCD of claim 3 , further comprising a gate line and a data line, wherein the light interception pattern and at least one of the gate line and the data line is placed on the same plane.
