Abstract
Disclosed is a fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display (LCD) in which the direction of a fringe field produced at one unit pixel is orthogonal to the direction of a fringe field produced at each of unit pixels adjacent to the one unit pixel. The disclosed fringe field switching mode LCD includes counter electrodes and pixel electrodes arranged on a back substrate to produce a fringe field having horizontal elements parallel to data bus lines at one unit pixel while producing a fringe field having horizontal elements parallel to gate bus lines at each of unit pixels longitudinally and laterally adjacent to the one unit pixel. In this LCD, the rubbing axis of a back horizontal alignment film defines an angle of ±45±10° with respect to each of the gate bus lines.
